From when I first started the trip everyone was so helpful I got off and on flights easily and we made it to maui from then on the community was great the staff and friends I made along the way I have to say In my group of people we never got into fights and we did all the excursions together no matter the groups even if one of my closets friends were in them and when I had trouble with my roomate in california the counslers were so nice and they helped me get my own room and fixed my problemes resulting in one of the best trips of my life
I spent my summer in Hawaii, surrounded by ocean, turtles, and strangers who quickly became friends. We worked hands-on with turtles, learning how important they are to the ecosystem.
