Teach Your Children on a Beach Volunteer Vacation
Description
A family beach vacation is an amazing chance to relax and enjoy time and ocean fun with the kids, but many families wish they could use a family vacation to teach their children about the world, open up their minds, and get them to appreciate the blessings of life. We wrote a blog about why we think that volunteering can be a GREAT part of a family vacation. So BeachCorps is teaming up with a great nonprofit, FECOTUR, to allow you and your family with kids to get safely out of the resort and meet some local kids who are taking action in their own communities. Just get a group of 4-10 family members together who are already heading to Punta Cana and use the coupon code TEACHYOURCHILDREN and your volunteer excursion is FREE for the first 10 people! Just make a small donation straight to the great nonprofit FECOTUR (Responsible Ecotourism Foundation). Your pilot program will be used to create great photos and videos to promote our “Recycling for Education” projects that begin in the summer of 2019. It’s a one-time offer only in 2018; we will end the offer after the first trip is booked and it won’t be available again until 2019!
Working side-by-side with a great nonprofit, FECOTUR, BeachCorps is collecting school supplies in exchange for communities collecting some plastic bottles for recycling. By the summer of 2019, we hope to have full-fledged BeachCorps volunteer vacation programs ready where volunteers can come to local communities and celebrate the donation of more and better school supplies in exchange for recycling and creating cleaner communities.

Details on the Excursion
On your family vacation, you will be picked up at your hotel in the morning by BeachCorps partner Runners Adventures, the biggest (and we think best) excursion provider in the country that is highly rated on Trip Advisor. BeachCorps will take you to a local community where your donation to FECOTUR and your participation will help us provide school supplies to kids who have participated in the FECOTUR “Recycling for Education” program and collected plastic recycling to exchange for their school supplies. We will play inter-cultural games where mixed teams of locals and foreigners learn about each other (no Spanish required). More specific details on timing sent after purchase.
Use the coupon code TEACHYOURCHILDREN to get this for FREE! (Only 10 available). Max booking: 22. Without a coupon the excursion cost is $50. Your donation of $25 goes 100% to FECOTUR.
