Everyone was very good at checking in with us about changing weather conditions, changes to the schedule that needed to be adjusted due to the weather, and adapting to our kids and their needs. We did have two new labs that we enjoyed and would like to see again when we..." Read more

"Our students seemed to retain a lot of information and we enjoyed the land based classes that allowed student participation. All water activities were excellent. However Some classes were very lecture heavy- such as coral reef ecology and sea grass ecology and were a bit harder for our to give their full attention to the whole time."

"Favorite thing: The balance between instruction/boat time and free time is good. You keep them busy! but they still have enough time to shower and play volleyball. But not enough to get bored and start annoying the chaperones :)"

"Our students loved the rock shake lab! They also enjoyed both trips to snorkel. The only feedback we received from the students is they wished they had more time to snorkel at the mangroves and out at the coral reef. They loved being able to swim with the sea turtles and dolphins, such an awesome experience!"
