Favorite site:

My favorite place was when we went ziplining on the Costa Rica trip through the rainforest. The views of the whole country were beautiful, and it was an experience that I will always remember.

Tell us about your Program Leader:

Mrs. Martinez was my seventh grade science teacher. We always have fun with her. She changed my view of science. We have had life-changing experiences on the trips.

Favorite memory:

My favorite memory from both trips was kayaking in the Florida Keys. We had a blast playing in the water and racing.

Overall impression of the trip:

I will always remember everything I learned and all the memories I made with my friends and on the trip.

Words of advice:

I had a blast on the Florida trip. I was second-guessing the Costa Rica trip, but I went through with it and I'm so glad I did. I had a blast and cannot wait until we attend our third trip this spring break to California. I'm so glad Mrs. Martinez found out about this trip and we are able to travel every year. We have a blast on each and every trip. Don't miss out!
