As part of their study of the history of the Cayman Islands, 7th and 8th grade students from Cayman International School recently took an exploratory trip to Cayman Brac.

For many of them, it was their first trip to the Sister Island, said the trip Chaperone Mike Rossol.

According to him during their adventure, students explored the Island’s numerous caves and walked the newly paved Lighthouse Footpath on the bluff where they got up close and personal with some of the Brac’s wildlife.

The youngsters visited the Christopher Columbus Gardens created as a part of the Cayman Brac Quincentennial Celebration in 2003.

While at the garden, students were able to view the Wall of Honor containing names of important individuals who have contributed to the growth and development of the Cayman Islands over the past several centuries.

A guided tour of the Parrot Reserve and the Half Way Ground Cave led by the Sister Islands Department of Tourism allowed the students to get a point of view of the Island from a Bracker’s perspective.
