DAY 2

Hands-On Learning Meets Pure Fun

Morning

Breakfast at The Beach - Of course, the easiest way to fuel your day is the free breakfast options at your hotel, but if you’re looking to splurge a little, can branch out to one of the area’s many buffets, sure to fill up even the hungriest teens.

Explore The Beach - After breakfast, burn off a little energy with some free time on our sandy shores. Let your group relax, play games and dip their toes in the Atlantic Ocean or create some fun team-building activities to be done oceanfront.
