Join us on the vacation of a lifetime!
This retreat is unique in that we encourage participants to interact with locals throughout the entirety of the trip. Community action projects will include working with children and teenagers at a local community center, leading a beach clean-up, cooking and serving food for people living at the Chinandega garbage dump, and working one-on-one with local teenagers on a global community awareness project.
Part of your tuition will provide a donation to the Shakti Youth Project (www.shaktiyouthproject.org). Furthermore, 30% of your room and board to Monty’s Beach Lodge will be funding community projects in Jiquilillo, Nicaragua. Just by joining the trip, you are investing in the local residents and youth.
