Adventures Cross-Country has generously donated their 2008 Costa Rica Service Adventure for a high school boy or girl. In a country of abundance such as Costa Rica, with rich rainforests, untouched beaches and a rainbow of exotic wildlife, we find there are also many people in need. Your child will dive into the heart of Costa Rican culture by working directly with school children and rural farmers on projects designed to positively affect their lives. See the beauty of the country by whitewater rafting one of its rivers, surfing its unspoiled coastline, and getting to know its people. Spend time in the capital city taking two days of fun Spanish language classes. Focus on conservation and ecological preservation, come together with a rural community to build a shelter, plant a vegetable garden or educate its youth. Your child will take pleasure incontributing to one of Latin America's most peaceful countries.This is a trip of a life time for your high school student.
