The 2025 Marine Biology Trip has finally come to an end. We have made it back to the much cooler climate of Wisconsin, but yet, we are still reflecting on all the memories made on this year’s trip. From snorkeling with wild manatees, to seeing sharks, to vying against one another in volleyball, to worshipping the Lord by His wonderous sea, we were blessed to experience so many wonderful things.

Check out what some of this year’s students had to say about their experience:

“Seeing His wide array of creation through a scientific lens was really impactful. Loved how everything pointed back to God!”

“Biology finally made sense to me. I learned 5x more in 10 days than I did in an entire year back home. This was just seriously so fascinating. May or may not be devasted to leave.”

“This is the best learning experience ever.”

“It showed me how wise God is. As well as how considerate He is! He loves us and all He created SO MUCH!”

“I am very proud of what I have accomplished. It showed me how hard I can work and remember.”

“I’ve grown closer to God through Michael’s sermons and hanging out with God focused people.”

“I learned more in this week about biology than any other point in my life.”

“Helped me truly see how beautifully made everything is and God’s attention to detail.”

What a blessed trip this was! We are honored to be able to serve the Lord and point people to Him, helping them to open their eyes to the vast array of life that our Creator has made in the sea. We pray that the Holy Spirit will set a fire in each of these youth’s hearts, and that they will seek Him in all their days to come. Until next time, we, Lord willing, will return to the Keys in 2026 to do this all over again!
