Help has sailed in





Ocean Classroom spent a week helping the cocoa farmers of Grenada.  Fifty students worked side by side with local agricultural students to clear brush, plant cocoa trees, 
harvest cocoa pods, help in the fermentation process, and make cocoa balls.


Pick up time early in the a.m., everybody is ready to work.



Bagging dried cocoa...



After clearing the bush, the students planted 100 trees ,.... in one morning.


 A well deserved soak in the cool water.

Vacation for a Change


Winter is coming,
days are short.




Why shovel snow,
when you could be picking cocoa?





Work together with the farmers
harvesting their cocoa in the
 paradis de l'ile aux epices! 




You'll learn how to ferment and shuffle cocoa...




Take day trips with CFFI guides to St. George and the beach, or




walk in the rain forest to the water falls...





You can make cocoa balls with Missis Agatha...






or go fishing with the locals...






and enjoy the tastes and sights of island life...

January 20-27
February 17-24 (optional extra week of work & Carnival)
