Program Details

Organize your 15 days school adventure to Ghana today! Your first day will have you arrive in Accra before travelling to Kumasi for your orientation into life in Ghana. You’ll get to make a real impact on rural communities in Ghana by working side-by-side with local villagers to build a house for a deserving family. Expect to get your hands dirty hammering nails, sawing wood, digging holes & entertaining local village kids. You’ll also work on a grassroots outreach project to provide clean water, emergency medical care, sanitation facilities and free education to remote communities. After a few days giving back to the rural communities, it will be time to head north to Mole National Park for a couple days adventure including safari, waterfalls and monkeys.

Your second week will see you continue work on house build & work on a grassroots outreach project to provide clean water, emergency medical care, sanitation facilities and free education to remote communities in Ghana, before finishing with more adventure travel and some R&R in Cape Coast and Oasis beach. Cultural activities will be provided throughout including drumming, dancing & an art class. Everything is included in your 15 day High Schools Group / Service Learning Adventure expedition from the airport transfers and meals to accommodation, entrance fees and cultural activities.


Activities & Shift

We have put together a sample 15 day itinerary that incorporates the ultimate service learning expedition in Ghana. For the reason that it provides a perfect blend of volunteering, travelling, adventure and cultural immersion. Moreover, the expedition itinerary is fully structured and inclusive throughout. However, we understand each school has different objectives from an overseas expedition and different criteria to meet. As a result, we can tailor the sample itinerary into a bespoke itinerary that matches your goals and objectives for an overseas school expedition in Ghana.

In short, we can tailor an expedition around your requirements and work with you to create your personalized school expedition itinerary so the students and school can get the most from the experience. Whether you wish to extend or shorten the duration of the expedition, solely focus on volunteering, or would like to incorporate volunteering into a wider expedition with travel opportunities – we can work together to create the perfect itinerary for you. Above all, we will ensure your school expedition to Ghana remains fully affordable, structured, safe and inclusive.
