The Bahamas middle school trip was AMAZING!

I had an amazing time on the Middle School Bahamas Broadreach Adventure! I have never experienced anything like it. My counselors were so kind, and made me feel right at home. The community that I and the other campers built was incredible. We learned so much about the animals, as well as the culture in the Bahamas. I am so grateful that I was able to go on this trip.

I had a great time in the Bahamas on my trip! We got to go to the local conservation center and learn about all the animals there and how to suture which was one of my favorite parts! Overall it was a great trip and I would recommend it!

The program was absolutely amazing. I have made friends that I am still in communication with 3 months after the trip, and I have learns so much about the field that I wish to go into one day. Traveling on my own was a lot easier than I had first expected, the flights were timed out so that I had plenty of time to get to my gate. One of the best experience of my life. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. I also got to learn about veterinary medicine and enjoy the company of a bunch of amazing people. If you want to be a vet one day I highly suggest going on this program.
