Event overview

The Mission Continues Miami & Broward Platoons are deploying to Dry Tortugas National Park for our second annual service project in remembrance of 9/11. This event is for adults only. We only have 10 remaining seats open!! The weekend will consist of two amazing days of service and connection in the keys. The schedule is as follows: - Depart on a charter bus Friday, September 7th - Stay at Navy Gateway Inn Friday (all expenses paid by TMC) - Ferry trip/service project/snorkeling at Dry Tortugas National Park on Saturday, September 8th - Stay at Navy Gateway Inn Saturday (all expenses paid by TMC) - Service project in Big Pine Key Sunday morning, September 9th - Team lunch in the keys before heading home Sunday afternoon * all expenses paid by TMC, aside from dinner Saturday night Almost 70 miles (113 km) west of Key West lies the remote Dry Tortugas National Park. The 100-square mile park is mostly open water with seven small islands. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, the park is known the world over as the home of magnificent Fort Jefferson, picturesque blue waters, superlative coral reefs and marine life, and the vast assortment of bird life that frequent the area. With a declining national budget to maintain the park, platoon members will help park rangers with multiple tasks to ensure that visitors, for many generations to come, will be able to enjoy the Dry Tortugas. These seats will fill up quick, so register now. You must be committed to the full weekend, so please only register if you are 100% in. We hope to see you there!
