During Easter week Bayside students and adults come together to serve as God’s hands and feet in Mexicali, Mexico. Mexico Outreach started in 1996 with just a small group of 26 students and has grown to over 1000+ because of the positive and lasting impact on the Mexican community and on the Americans that go. The large group divides into smaller teams that serve all over the Mexicali valley supporting and encouraging the churches and organizations we partner with. The week is packed with amazing sermons, a close community, piggy back rides, servant hearts, fantastic food, and powerful experiences
The Mexico Trip is transformational! Student and adult participants experience God in a new place, have opportunities to serve, develop lasting friendships, make life-long memories and God moves in their lives and the lives of those they serve. If students or adults are wanting deeper connection with others at the church, this trip guarantees new friendships and an authentic community experience. The need is great, and we believe God wants to use you to impact the world!
Bayside is taking all necessary measures and precautions pertaining to COVID-19. We keep a constant pulse on current CDC and State Department guidelines for international travel. As we move forward in planning this trip, it is our desire to minimize possible exposure to our participants, as well as those we are going to serve in Mexico. Please know that we are being fluid and flexible, as the guidelines change. We will do everything we can to keep all participants up to date on any changes to these protocols.
• Masks are optional.
• Vaccinations are not required to participate.
• We are developing a plan for testing prior to departure, as well as the ability to test prior to returning to the U.S. at no additional cost to the participant.
• We are developing a plan for participants to return home if tested positive for Covid-19 at any point on the trip.
• We will have a transportation plan to respond to any positive cases for Covid-19.
• Neither Mexico or the USA currently require Covid test results to travel by land in or out the country.
• A full refund will be given if tested positive for Covid-19 prior to departure.
• Our first aid team is working diligently to take precautions and plan for every possible scenario.
This trip has limited capacity and is complex in planning and logistics. Once placed on a team, costs incur.
Full refunds, $149 is non-refundable, will be processed if requested by January 31, 2024.
Partial refund will be processed if requested by Feb 22, 2024. $149 is non-refundable. If you are unable to participate due to a positive Covid Test prior to departure, we will process a refund in full.
