Trip to Cayman Island

Two North High teachers and two chaperons took 16 students on a trip to the Cayman Island.

Mr. Bronson and Mr. Dean take a group of students every year. This summer they left on Thursday, the third week of June until the following Thursday. The group stayed in Coconut Bay condos.

Taylor Cook, graduated 2010, said, “I loved the condos, they were beautiful and it was better than living at home.”

The group of divers went out into the Atlantic Ocean about 2 to 3 times a day. Each time they went for 30-75 minutes depending on how fast they used their oxygen tanks.

“My favorite place was Sting Ray City where I could feed and dive with the sting rays,” Cook reported.

When the students weren’t diving they were given certain tasks to do by the teachers. They went to a turtle farm to hold turtles. The group did different classroom activities in order to get their three biology credits.

Cook said, “It was a lot of fun and worth every penny I spent, I can’t wait to go back!”
