Scotland is an amazing country, with a beautiful mix of wild highlands and modern cities. Ministry is as varied as her landscape and people, allowing us the chance to bring your team strengths alongside our ministry partners and local leadership, serving others and sharing Jesus' love.
Your Next Gen host will provide your team an organized, safe, and insightful trip. In addition to arranging air and ground travel, lodging, and meals, we also help equip your team in their skill groups, provide cultural knowledge, and are the ones to accompany you on the trip. Relationships are a critical element of Next Gen--relationships within your team and with those we serve.
Over the years, Next Generation Mission has enjoyed many long-standing relationships within Scotland and the ministry opportunities vary from trip to trip. Some teams focus on music, while others may use drama, street teams, garage bands, and other ministry skills. And while while we enjoy a variety of cultural experiences in our down time, our favorite part of Scotland is getting to know her people.
Because Next Gen provides trips based on your team, we take many factors into account for your trip. Scotland trips generally run ten days and average $3,300-3,700. The size of your group and itinerary chosen will affect pricing.
Scotland trips are frequently offered for adults, collee-age and above, although we are open to high school groups as well.
Many teams hold fundraisers, create sponsorships, and raise money through church and individual donations from family and friends.
Next Gen does require a $400 non-refundable deposit upon registration and a complete payment schedule follows. Please note that donations are considered tax-deductible as the law allows.
The success of a trip depends on you! Team members open to learning, willing to experience new things, and flex with the day's plans often have the best experience. We often find that God works best in what seems difficult to us. Scotland is unique in many ways and embracing the adventure of another culture, instead of expecting it to be like home, is often key to what a group might consider "successful."
A valid passport is required for Americans traveling to Scotland. Additionally, your passport must be valid for six months AFTER your last travel date (for example, if your passport expires May 31, your passport needs to be valid until November 30 for you to travel). At this time, no visas are required.
Be advised that passport processing can take up to three months for a new application. Expedited processing is available for an additonal fee.. Many passport renewals can be handled online and do not take as long, but we highly recommend allowing a generous timeframe for all passports.
