This week we are happy to announce that our Spring Break programs are returning. We have details about a great option in Costa Rica. In addition, a popular summer program in the Dominican Republic is returning and a new college option in Costa Rica is now available.
Here are details:
Costa Rica
Spring Break Surf and Service
There may not be a better way to spend Spring Break! Students learn to surf and try several adventure activities, such as ziplining and white water rafting. In between, they take part in meaningful construction and beach clean-up projects.
Turtle Conservation Project – College
One of our most popular programs in now available for college students in 2023. During our turtle conservation programs, students work with rangers to save endangered and threatened sea turtles. It is a fantastic opportunity for students interested in hands-on animal conservation efforts.
Dominican Republic
Mountain Air and Island Service
Students will return to villages in the Cordillera Central Mountains next summer to work on water projects. Rustic Pathways has had an ongoing partnership with communities in this region for years. The service work provides local residents with clean running water.
When not working, the students also visit the beaches and other scenic areas in the country.
Rustic Pathways students dig a trench for a water pipe in the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2022.
