Galapagos Islands are wonderful national parks and they are full of natural beauty. To be able to go there would be the experience of a life time. For current and former see team students and eco club members, this can become their own personal memory to look back on when they’re older. They are eligible to go on a ten day trip to the Galapagos Islands, where they will see a lot and do a lot of amazing things.
The trip will last from June 13th – June 22nd. The cost of the rip is 3,500 dollars, but will be well worth the money when they have the time of their life. The price of this trip will also go down with fundraising and grants.
