“One special person I met is Nadene from the Manatee Lodge. She wakes up around the unholy hour of four every morning and cooks and cleans to provide for her family. Seeing the determination that she has and the demanding work that she does on a daily basis left a great impact on my heart.”- Christine Lukban, Summer 2017

“Visiting Ben Lomond cave was an exciting adventure. Including crossing the lagoon, hiking across a savanna and through a jungle to the cave, abundant with bats and big bugs. Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve was a little nerve racking as we were constantly on the lookout for jaguars and snakes. However, I loved learning about the different plants in the jungle.” -Jessie Bricker, Summer 2017

“I have seen things that I will tell people about for a long time to come, and I have made friends that I hope to have forever. I would not trade my experience in Belize for the world”. – Zoe Saulsgiver, Summer 2013

“This has been an eye-opening experience I would have regret missing out on. It was having doubts at first and I’m proud of myself leaving my comfort zone and sticking with it.”-Brandy Gott, 2017
