Join us in Costa Rica as we journey down El Sendero – “our own trail” – experiencing life off the beaten path in the shadow of the Turrialba Volcano. Our 14-day teen community service trip and Spanish immersion program in Costa Rica take us through the beautiful country as we visit mountains, a rainforest, and beaches. Improve your Spanish as we immerse ourselves in a rural community within the Turrialba Valley to repair family homes and work on local community projects – making time to surf, sea kayak, zip-line, and whitewater raft as well.
