Unfortunately, we said “adios” to over 60 students (15-Day Multi Element, Catching Waves #2, Rainforest River & Reef #1, 15-Day Reef & Rainforest, and 15-Day Surf Intensive) last week. Hopefully they’ll remember the time they had here and what they learned. The Facebook Fan Page has albums and videos of their courses. (If they’re not posted yet, they will be!) They had a lot of great things to say upon departure last week, such as:
“I found that I am capable of more than I even thought possible and I am thankful to know I am able to do it.”
“I had the time of my life, and I’ll never forget this place.”
In the upcoming weeks, we hope our new groups feel the same way:
15-Day Multi Element (June 17): went waterfall rappelling today, leave for hiking tomorrow in Santa Maria de Dota
Instructors: Shannon and Carlos
15-Day Reef & Rainforest (June 17): left our base yesterday to hike La Danta today and La Flecha tomorrow

And let’s not forget our super students, who have already been in Costa Rica a while with CRROBS! We hear they’re having a great time, and they’re sad it’s coming to an end in the upcoming month:
Summer Semester: already trekked the whole country from Caribbean to Pacific, and now they’re in Manuel Antonio to surf; see their update video from when they had a transition day at base last week: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1023384761062&ref=mf
