STUDENT TRAVEL

Belize, with its abundance of biology and diversity of cultures is an excellent destination for school groups. We invite you to
trade in your desk for a seat in a kayak, a perch on a canopy walkway or a tidal pool at a remote coral atoll. Students study and

learn first-hand about coral reefs and the diversity of life in the rainforest. They gain rare insights into the culture and history of
the Maya, Garifuna and Creole people of Belize. Students get to paddle and sail sea kayaks, descend rainforest rivers and they
learn how to prepare food from the jungle and sea. Ask us about our Community Service Initiative, a program where students

have the opportunity to participate in a variety of projects ranging from working with zookeepers to teaching computer skills
in Mayan villages or distributing sports gear and school supplies. Our aim is to engage students with communities, to teach,
learn and leave a lasting benefit for the people of Belize. We bring years of experience and inspired leadership together to create
challenging, fun and safe learning adventures. Our unique facilities at the Tropical Education Center, the Belize Zoo and our
Marine Studies basecamps at Billyhawk Caye, Glovers Reef and Halfmoon Caye are ideal for student programs. Contact us to find

out what’s involved with planning your student trip.

Over the past ten years our school district has made kayaking expeditions to Clayoquot Sound, Barkley Sound, The Queen Char-

lottes, the Sea of Cortez, Costa Rica and Belize. Our favourite destination by far has been Belize with the incomparable assistance
of Island Expeditions. They are the best company we have ever been associated with in our ten years of educational trips through-
out North and South America
