Reward yourself for completing your first semester! Shed your winter layers and dust off your bathing suit for a sea kayaking adventure in the Gulf of Mexico. The trip will spend the first day practicing skills with a sea kayaking 101 crash course. Once everyone has mastered the strokes the group will head out into the Gulf and onto the Islands found off the Everglades coast and into the land of 10,000 Islands. White sandy beaches await you and perhaps a glimpse of a manatee, sea turtle and certainly dolphin!
