Our program combines the richness of the mountainous Monteverde Cloud Forest with the stunning northwest coastline of the Pacific. Each day will offer opportunities to work with children, help paint and renovate schools, or assist in environmental projects.

Divided between the Monteverde Cloud Forest and the beautiful beaches of the Pacific coast, our work will focus on sustainable community and economic development. In the mountainous Monteverde region, we will explore and learn about the fragile balance of this diverse ecosystem. Working with local groups we will be helping with reforestation, trail maintenance, and a community- or child-focused project. As we travel to the coast, we will direct our focus to the orphanage in Santa Cruz and a local school in Liberia.

Costa Rica offers a wide array of adventures, activities, and ways to wind down. From surfing and snorkelling to hiking, salsa dancing, and sunbathing, there is something for everyone. While in the rainforest, we will take nature hikes and learn about the benefits that our work will provide. As we make our way from the Cloud Forest to the coast, we will stop to spend a night in Arenal, home to the beautiful Arenal Volcano, where we will reward ourselves with a soak in the hot springs. On the coast, zip lining, snorkelling, surfing and scuba diving are all available to those who wish to take part. Continual team building activities will have everyone enjoying this trip to its fullest!
