The School of Education would like to invite students to a new Maymester course and a wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves in the Latin American culture. This course will include an 11 day trip to Costa Rica.

Students will complete service and learning activities at 7 different sites- 4 schools and 3 ecological sites. Work will range from sea turtle rescue to reforestation. Students will live for 2 days with a Costa Rican family to learn about their culture. They will also learn how to grow, harvest and cook organically.

 The group will drive, canoe, bus, and hike over 30 miles and 3 rivers to visit the last indigenous tribes of Latin America, the Bri Bri. All of this will be intertwined with zip-lining, hiking, and white water rafting. It promises to be some of the most action packed days these students will ever spend as students.

Come explore Costa Rica with us! Space is limited, and you don’t have to be an education major to participate, so don’t delay! If you are interested and would like more information, check out our website here.

Please contact Rebecca Hill or Sally Brow in the SOE if you plan to attend.
