Hope on the Ground hosts short-team teams year-round! A majority of our youth teams come in the summer, while a majority of our adult teams come during the school year. The only month we don’t host teams in Ecuador is August, when we are resting after the craziness (in a good way!) of summer.

During the summer, we host up to four teams simultaneously, although they never see each other. To maintain a consistent schedule for our staff, we ask our summer teams to choose between three “blocks” of time, ten days in length. We recommend 6-10 nights in Ecuador, depending on your goals. Our summer teams pick the exact dates within each block that work best for them. Our 2025 block dates are:

Block 1: June 4-14

Block 2: June 18-28

Block 3: July 9-19
