Family Monster Adventure Day

March 11, 2017

12:00 PM - 02:30 PM EST

Orlando Platoon

Event overview

The Mission Continues Orlando Platoons are taking over the Showcase of Citrus! We will be enjoying lunch before we go on an hour long tour on Monster Buses. That's right, we will be climbing into the world's largest 4X4 trucks (former school buses) and touring 2,500 acres. The buses are even ADA accessible. The Showcase of Citrus has a country store that offers 100% natural orange juice slushies, creamsicles, fresh squeezed juices, pure fresh honey, farm fresh eggs, alligator souvenirs, free wine samples, and a lot more. Bags are available to fill with oranges in the U-Pick em groves. There is a playground for the kids to burn off some energy, a lake to fish from (catch and release and you bring your own pole), and there are farm animals you can feed. This family day is sure to be an adventure! We have a reserved time of 12 pm to 2 pm, the tour will be at 1 pm, but you are free to stay as long as you would like. This is going to be a big event, so RSVP is mandatory.

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
