This 21 day service trip for 9th through 12th graders is focused on environmental community service and wildlife rehabilitation. Students will also experience Costa Rica through hiking, surfing, rafting, and many outdoor excursions. Find out more!
Over 21 days, students will volunteer at a local wildlife refuge and travel via boat to the Caribbean Coast. There, they may witness the conservation efforts of the native leatherback sea turtles. They'll study them and patrol the beech for turtle eggs. They can expect to earn up to 50 community service hours through hands-on work in the local ecosystems. Other activities may include an overnight rafting adventure, visiting a local dairy farm, identifying species at the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and surfing lessons!
