Travelers will awaken to the song of exotic birdlife and the chatter of monkeys in the distance to truly get away from it all. The all-inclusive stay at the Cotton Tree Lodge is nestled between unspoiled rainforests and the banks of the Moho River.
The Cotton Tree Lodge includes many on-site activities such as horseback riding, river kayaking, hiking, fishing, and birding, just to name a few. In addition, there are complimentary cultural, chocolate, and wildlife tours that leave from the resort daily. Visit a Mayan ruin, travel with a field guide to explore local wildlife or join Sustainable Harvest International for a day-long service project and lunch with a Belizean family in their home.
Edison Study Abroad is open to students for college credit as well as family and community members. “Our previous trips to China, England and other countries have focused on historical and cultural aspects of the visited areas. This is an opportunity to look at another wonderful aspect of our world,” said Eileen Thompson, English faculty member and Study Abroad coordinator. “We are excited to be trying something new with our students and community.”
Edison’s Study Abroad program offers travelers the chance to be immersed in a foreign culture. Beyond potentially learning a new language, participants will discover new strengths and abilities, make new friends, and develop a better understanding of the world.
A limited number of spots are available for the Study Abroad trip to Belize. For more information or to register visit www.edisonohio.edu/Belize2014
