Come embark on a once-in-a-lifetime learning expedition studying sea turtles in Costa Rica! Summer at St. Patrick’s is teaming up with EcoTeach, a company specializing in organizing student trips focused on conservation, education, and cultural awareness. Students will enjoy the Central American landscape, meet local residents, eat native cuisine, make friends, and learn about the culture and natural ecology of Costa Rica. The trip will run 10 days, during which motivated students will have the opportunity to work with scientists researching leatherback and green sea turtles. Space is limited and will be first-come, first-served. More information is available upon request.
Some of the highlights include:
