SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Two dozen San Antonio high schoolers are in for a summer camp experience the likes of which they've never seen. First step, a plane trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The group of 24 teens is part Laity Lodge Youth Camp, a combination summer camp and missionary outreach program.
The teens will be interacting with and ministering to children in Limbe, Haiti, many of whom are refugees from January's massive earthquake.
"We're basically gonna get to live just like they do for an entire week, and it's gonna be something we've never experienced," said Sarah Green, one of the teens on the trip. "It's gonna be amazing to look through their eyes and see how they live."
The group will participate in a variety of activities with the Haitian children, and also working on several projects at the camp, which has been dubbed Jacob's Well.
The teens will be finishing a kitchen facility at the camp, planting mango trees, and building a camp entrance.
They will be in Haiti for the next week returning to San Antonio Saturday night.
