*Fiji Update: March 24, 2009
Please note that due to changes in flight schedules from Los Angeles, the scheduled dates of all of our South Pacific programs have been changed. All programs will now depart the USA on Tuesday and return on Thursday. The updated departure dates are listed below and any dates in our printed catalog are now incorrect.
For students staying at the Eco- Lodge for two weeks or more, Weekend Side Trips are available after completing your first full week at the Base. These optional Weekend Side Trips are designed to enrich your overall Eco-Lodge experience. For students staying two or more weeks interested in going on exciting weekend side trips, please be sure to include enough money in your allowance account to cover the costs.
We took our time to come up with four unique and fun Weekend Side Trips. If you need a break from service, want to escape the Base for a weekend, or just want to make the most of your time in Fiji, there's a Side Trip for you.
