Recharge to Charge On: Yoga for Faculty and Staff

Join Outdoor Adventure for a snorkeling experience and beach day! Snorkeling at Blue Heron Bridge in West Palm Beach, Florida, offers the opportunity to connect with nature in a very unique way. As we move through the water, we will hopefully get to see plenty of wildlife including fish, turtles and birds dive beneath the surface. Additionally, you will be surrounded by Florida's iconic tropical vegetation every stroke of way! After a good time snorkeling, we will go to a local beach for beach games, more swimming and maybe building a sand castle or two.
