You may have noticed this past March that our Instagram and Facebook feeds had been taken over by our very first program to operate within the United States.
Creating custom group travel programs for students is nothing new for ActionQuest, but our newest program, a Marine Science and Community Service Adventure in the Florida Keys, was the first of its kind for us.
Over the course of 6 days, students from the Franklin Road Academy explored the beauty of the Florida Keys under the direction of Staff Members Shaun Swartz and Ashley Tomasello. From snorkeling above Key Largo’s coral reefs to standing at the Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S. in Key West, these students had the opportunity to absorb some serious marine science knowledge while contributing to the Keys community by assisting with the ongoing recovery efforts of cleaning up from the damage of Hurricane Irma. Check out some of the photos below from our sailing adventure through the Florida Keys!
Are you interested in creating a custom group travel program that features sailing, marine science, and a scuba diving summer adventure for your own small group of students? Do you want to learn more about our custom outdoor adventure camps? Pick up that phone and give us a call. Our custom group travel programs for students are like a choose-your-adventure novel, but real!
