Eswatini: Spring Break 2026
The Eswatini experience is a Learning Service Trip for Brentwood students that occurs during spring break every two years. Over the course of 16 days, we will spend 5.5 days helping a small community called Emnotfweni build a three-room school block and then spend the remaining days doing a couple of stunning hikes, exploring different game parks in the region, and checking out local craft markets.

“Without a doubt, this trip was perhaps the best thing I have ever done in my life. There isn’t a lot that tops travelling to a new continent with your friends while giving back to the community you are visiting.”
