Have a chance to participate in population studies, collect eggs, tag turtles and relocate eggs to a safe hatchery. During the day, you may help with beach clean-up, build hatcheries or play an impromptu game of soccer or volleyball. You’ll also visit a butterfly farm and explore the local canals by boat.
