When places we visit go unmanaged, there can be a highly negative impact on the local community, due to the overuse of resources, destruction of the natural environment and dilution of existing cultures - all in the name of serving the tourist industry.
We are redefining what it means to travel, where destinations are protected and restored because community needs are placed first, cultural respect is promoted, and environmental stewardship is championed - all while our guests feel welcomed, included, and have fun discovering something new.
We welcome all travelers to experience what it means to build community as you discover a new adventure.
Our service groups collaborate with community members to implement community-led projects.
Past projects include installing water systems, beach clean-ups, and more.
Our study away program offers diverse, hands-on research opportunities for students in many programs, from early childhood education to marine science and more, and contributes to community goals.
Our wellness retreats offer an introspective and inclusive experience, combining mindfulness practices, rejuvenating movement, natural surroundings and nutritious foods to lean into good health.
Our purpose-finding retreats empower participants to discover their true calling, develop essential leadership skills, and forge meaningful connections, all while unplugging from daily life, to recharge and recenter.
