The spring middle school program includes a 6 day / 5 night land package. We let families book their own air travel so they can select their airline of choice to earn or use miles and to allow flexibility for additional travel on both ends of the trip. The summer high school program includes a 10 day / 9 night land and air package. Both packages include daily breakfast, baseball activities, cultural activities, fun activities, and ground transportation to all scheduled activities,
The Dominican Republic currently does not require a visa to enter the country.
The middle school experience is for 13 – 14 year old baseball players. The schedule is around the Easter and Passover holidays, which align with spring break holidays for most students. Departure and return dates will be midweek with the trip spanning over a weekend for cost effectiveness.
The middle school trip DOES NOT include airfare. Group airfare is more expensive and less flexible and you cannot use your miles. We will identify an optimal air itinerary and then you will purchase your own flights.
A travel representative will greet you at the airport and you will be transported to the hotel in an air-conditioned bus. We can arrange for additional activities such as:
- City tours
- Shopping
- Restaurants
- Cigar and rum stores
Here is a tentative timeline:
