The coordinator of the Environmental Education & Outreach project, Melissa Jiménez-Kardentay, shares some thoughts about the last Summer Club, carried out between January 14th until the 31st.

After 3 weeks at full power with the guys from the camp we finished our Summer Club 2019 and we want to give an special thanks to the Food Bank, Cleveland High School Students in NC, Life Project Education, drivers for kids every day and the different donors for making it possible for these boys and girls have an experience of hand with Nature, alive, acting and choosing for nature and its conservation.
Grateful to the parents who entrust us one more year to establish environmental values in their sons and daughters.
See you the next year!

The objective of this initiative is to guide children and youth and promote conservation by inspiring an appreciation of natural resources near their communities.

This year a new group joined the Summer Club, therefore, now there are 3 groups:
“Vivo por Naturaleza”, 7 to 9 years old.
“Actúo por Naturaleza”, 10 to 12 years old.
“Elijo por Naturaleza”, 13 to 15 years old.

The proposed activities include research activities, presentations on marine life, sea turtles, their habitats and threats, beach cleaning and several field programs that include a visit to the sea turtle hatchery, work in the Butterfly Garden, installing traps for cameras, exit to Ballena Marine Park, Hacienda Baru, etc.

If your son / daughter / neighbor / friend / student could not participate this year, do not be discouraged, you just have to be visit our social media and website next year and sign up early, since the spaces fill up very quickly.
