This week we have added a number of new sessions as the countdown to summer heats up. Our additions this week involve programs in Thailand and Costa Rica. Here are the updates:
Thailand
We have updated the itineraries for two programs: Come with Nothing and Southeast Asian Adventurer. Our country team has recommended that these programs be held exclusively in Thailand to avoid any border crossing problems, and they’ve made some exciting alterations to the schedules to utilize the best Thailand has to offer.
Generally the programs will have the same activities as the original itineraries except that students in the Southeast Asian Adventurer program will spend much more time with the elephants. They will have three days of activities at an elephant sanctuary.
To meet demand, we have added another session for this program. The new dates are:
June 21 – July 8
For more information about both program updates, please visit our Thailand page here.
Costa Rica
Registrations for our Costa Rica programs have continued to pick up in pace. We are adding a few more sessions. We are getting close to filling out the summer offerings for a couple of these programs.
Here are the new dates:
Surf and Service
This program that is designed for students of all different surfing abilities will be held at our new Playa Grande Surf and Service Basecamp. The trip has the perfect combination of service and adventure.
The new dates available are:
June 28 – July 6
Turtle Conservation Project
Four weeks of this popular program are either sold out of almost sold out. Students on this trip learn about conversation and are actively involved in efforts to save threatened turtle species.
The new dates available are:
June 21 – June 29
Heart of the Jungle
This rustic program is held on the scenic Osa Peninsula in southern Costa Rica, where students learn about biodiversity and enjoy activities both in the jungle and in the water.
Our new session dates for this program are:
June 28 – July 13
