Sea Turtle Adventure, August 9 - 15, 2009, Akumal, Mexico

From an announcement on RivieraMayaVacations.com:

Minnesota Zoo is working with Just Imagine Vacations, Inc to do a week-long Sea Turtle Camp in Akumal. The camp is for students in Grades 10 - 12.

The students will work nights with the Centro Ecologico Akumal's Turtle Protection Program's staff and volunteers. They will go out on watches and look for nesting mothers as well as nests that will be hatching.

In addition, they will be taking two small side trips to a Spider Monkey Preserve and to Xcaret to tour their Sea Turtle Hospital and enjoy the day at the park.

The camp will also include snorkeling in Akumal's wonderful bays. Please contact us if you would like more information on this trip.
