Spring Break Trip to Belize
What will you do doing April 13-21, 2017? Hiking and canoeing in a tropical rain forest? Snorkeling on the second largest coral reef system in the world? Caving and hiking at Maya architectural sites? Visiting a Blue Morpho Butterfly farm? Observing tropical birds, iguanas and other wildlife? Walking around architectural features of Maya culture?

The Science Department is offering the opportunity to do all that and much more. We'd love to take you along. It's always a great way to make new and lasting friendships with other Auks. A deposit of $200 is due by November 3 to reserve a spot - so that deadline will come around quickly. Please contact Dr. Jenna Christy for other details including an itinerary of each day's activities.
