This week-long Cyprus program combines cultural immersion, environmental conservation, and outdoor adventure for Grade 7. After a warm welcome in Larnaca, the group travels to the mountain village of Kritou Tera, where they learn traditional skills such as bread baking, weaving, and gourd carving, while also becoming familiar with the village and its history. The following days focus on hands-on environmental projects, including biodiversity surveys at Kremiotis Waterfall, a guided hike through the ecologically rich Akamas Peninsula, and a beach cleanup and microplastic survey on turtle nesting beaches.
Alongside the service work, students enjoy a balance of cultural activities, team-building challenges, and adventure. Rock climbing, archery, and campfire gatherings round out the experience, offering time for reflection and connection. The journey concludes back in Larnaca with a visit to local churches, markets, and the seaside before departure, leaving participants with lasting memories of community, conservation, and culture.
