Program Overview

Our faculty-led custom group trips are planned months in advance with great attention to detail and meaningful activities based on the group's focus. We specialize in conservation, environment, biology, indigenous studies, and service learning projects. Group activities include lectures from local leaders and educators, government officials, farmers, and healers. The program also includes area tourism activities. These trips are great for faculty looking to get students out into the field for hands-on, real-life experiences. We have staff and resources throughout the country for a broad delivery of itineraries.

Prices depend on inclusions, duration, number of participants in a group, and the accommodation type requested. We are happy to work with interested faculty to customize the program based on budget and educational goals. Plus, each group will have a personal advisor from CELA to offer guidance at every step of the process.

Our guides were wonderful and kind

This experience has been a wonderful introduction to Belize. The individuals we met and the presentations we heard were passionate about Belize and patient with us to share their experiences and culture with us. And our guides were wonderful and kind.

Gemma RichardsonJune 2025

So impactful

Our experience with Loop Abroad/CELA was so impactful. The staff made our experience an easy one, being flexible and creative in providing the best possible experience for what was (for many of our students) their first time in a new country.

Hafsah RangelJune 2025

I am excited to return.

Our Belize trip provided our university students an incredible cultural experience. The hospitality, culture, conversations, and community visits were hands down one of a kind. We loved our time and I am excited to return.

I feel so prepared for whats next

Before this trip I didn't know about education abroad. Everything from the places to the people was amazing! I feel so prepared for my graduate school and possible work abroad. This experience will stay with me forever.

Aisha BurnsMay 2025

Felt so safe

I had no idea how much Belize had to offer. I've learned so much and I never had to worry about my safety. They were so good at being flexible when the unexpected came. If you get the chance, sign up with CELA Belize

Lenny RothMay 2025

Belize is beautiful

This was my first time studying abroad and I felt so safe and cared for. I could tell that everyone cared about my education and my love for this country. Belize is beautiful and changed my perspective of the world.

Patricia BartonMay 2025

This trip changed my life.

CELA provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime. As a second generation Carribean myself, this trip gave me the chance to explore, compare, and contrast my own experience with those of the indigenous peoples. Through cultural exploration, I was able to leave with a greater understanding of our relation to the land, and food and community as pedagogy. This trip changed my life.

Leyla HamiltonMay 2025

Memories that will last a lifetime.

This trip was honestly so eye-opening. I got to see and experience things I never imagined. I made an amazing group of friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore different cultures.

Very welcoming

This study abroad program was truly amazing. The staff was great which made the experience so much better and welcoming. I love the connections I made with the people who were with me on this trip and how we all were able to learn and see things from first hand. I loved how we were able to see and talk to people who were from here and gave us great information and were very welcoming toward us.

Eye opener.

It was an experience a wide variety of majors can benefit from. I learned so much about different cultues and their histories. Definitely an eye opener. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything ever.

Cecily BellMarch 2025

Magical

This was life changing, even as a chaperone. I never pictured myself enjoying a tropical location, but I fell in love with the people, the culture, and the atmosphere. I didn't want it to end. I found myself saying "I can't believe I'm experiencing this." The staff also made the trip unforgettable. Thank you for making my trip magical!

Lauren GilbertMarch 2025

Well rounded

The trip was a well rounded mix of curriculum, activites, and fun. All staff made us feel safe, comfortable, and satisfied. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to study abroad for a short period of time. I feel I learned more about economy, politics, and Central American culture.

Philippa HarperMarch 2025

Fantastic time.

I had a fantastic time on this trip. I felt like it offered everything from cultural experiences to relaxation. The staff was super helpful and kind and were able to always provide help if we needed it. I would definitely recomment the trip to anyone thinking about doing study abroad.

Stella KiddMarch 2025

Awesome local guides

I love that we are exploring Belize with locals to the area. I have traveled with other tour companies and the guides are never local to the area. We were able to explore two local swimmiong spots thanks to having them with us.

Alesha JacobsonMarch 2025

Best place ever!

I learned a lot about the cultural aspect of Belize and how many different backgrounds and blends of people are here. They have amazing cuisine and I would love to recreate the dishes. The staff on this trip made such an amazing impact on me, as well as the people on the island. Best place ever!
