ARCC Pacific Islands

The ARCC Pacific Islands Gap Semester offered a mix of adventure, service, and cultural immersion. Days were filled with activities like snorkeling, hiking, and working on community projects, giving a unique way to experience the islands beyond just visiting. There was plenty of time to connect with both locals and fellow students, which was enriching, though adjusting to the intense heat, bugs, and basic accommodations took some effort. Overall, a worthwhile experience for those open to a challenge and personal growth.
