Fork Union Military Academy is partnering with Rustic Pathways to arrange an exciting travel and learning opportunity for our cadets during Spring Break, from March 9 - 16, 2024.

Cadets will learn all about turtle conservation and work to protect native sea turtles on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. They will spend the days both enjoying the beach and working to keep it clean, helping protect the turtles during evening patrols spent looking for nests to relocate to safety. Experienced conservationists will lead our young men through service and teach them about the many ongoing efforts to save sea turtles. In addition to these daily shifts in the hatchery, they will carry out beach cleanups with park rangers and marvel at the beautiful beaches.

Stay tuned for a Parent Orientation to be scheduled in the coming weeks at which you can ask questions and learn more about this travel and learning opportunity direct from our partners at Rustic Pathways.
