Spring Break, March 5 – 15, 2026

Since 2003, mission teams of faculty, staff, and students at Southwestern Adventist University and Chisholm Trail Academy have traveled to the Navajo Nation during their spring break to serve the Navajo people in Arizona and New Mexico.  This trip is more than just a spring break experience—it’s an opportunity to build relationships, learn from a rich and resilient culture, and serve communities with compassion and purpose.

Immerse yourself in Navajo Culture, explore the beauty of the Southwest, begin new friendships, discover your passion for mission, and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
