DISCOVER COSTA RICA THROUGH A CULTURAL EXCHANGE SERVICE ADVENTURE!

Combine that with the rush of outdoor adreneline activities and you have a recipe for an unforgettable summer service experience! This language exposure program is designed for students of any Spanish level and no prior Spanish study is required. Join us as we get involved with much-needed rainforest protection, complete education and small construction projects, become part of a "Tico" family, and raft, surf and zip through the tropical paradise that is Costa Rica!
