Middle School students are invited to dive into a week of hands-on learning and outdoor adventure—no passport or overnight bag required! Each day, students will journey from ACS to explore the unique ecosystems and coastal wonders of our host country, returning in the afternoon with new skills, stories, and connections.

From kayaking through mangrove forests to studying marine biodiversity, this experience offers a dynamic blend of science, sustainability, and teamwork. Students will snorkel and swim in the clear waters surrounding Abu Dhabi, learn essential land and sea survival techniques, and take part in a meaningful mangrove planting project that contributes to real environmental impact.

The adventure continues with a visit to the SeaWorld Research and Rescue Centre, where students will learn how marine life is protected and rehabilitated. With a strong focus on team building, environmental stewardship, and outdoor skills, students will explore the impact they can have on the community around them. This program offers a perfect blend of service, education, adventure, and fun—right in our own backyard.
