Program Reviews:
Cara Michelle Brashears, Winter Break 2015 Participant
The ability to experience Costa Rican culture, adventure, and working on writing all at once was an incredible combination. We had a lot of free time to explore what we were interested in, as well as exposure to many different parts of Costa Rica.

Winter Break 2017 Participant
There is so much more we could be doing to conserve nature that other countries are already doing it. We need to get working on that.

Samantha Hsu, Winter Break 2019 Participant
Our guide, Tatiana was so knowledgeable about all the topics that came up from flora and fauna of Costa Rica to the political climate and history. It was so cool getting to see beautiful things while gaining a lot of information about them. All of the instructors are so caring and relaxed to travel with-they truly want the students to learn and absorb as much as possible.
