In only a couple hours you can make your own batik cloth to bring home and turn into a skirt, dress, bag, purse or whatever you want! Discover the art of making African batik, be creative and take something home with you. Come and find out how it is made and learn the technique hands-on!

Drumming/Dancing Workshop
>>Learn Authentic African Drumming and Dancing!
Come and experience African drumming and dancing at its finest; a classroom on the beach with Ghana’s only female master drummer. Cape Coast hosts an array of talented musicians, and you can take a class with one of the best!

Ghanaian Cuisine Workshop
>>Learn to Cook with the Best!
Participate in an authentic Ghanaian food cooking class and learn how to create many of the Ghanaian dishes you will taste during your trip to Ghana. Students learn African cooking techniques and discover local ingredients while creating popular dishes like Red Red, fufu, fried yam balls and palava.

Fishing Village Excursion
>>Learn about Ghana's Fishing Village Life!
A fishing village excursion provides an unforgettable glimpse at life in a traditional Ghanaian fishing village. Participants travel to a fishing village a few kilometers from Cape Coast, where they have a chance to meet the chief and elders, receive a boat ride on a beatiful lagoon, help the fishermen pull in the nets, and learn how the fish is preserved.
