In May, we welcomed 8 students and 1 teacher from Canyon School in California to beautiful Costa Rica. Every year, it is such a treat to take these 8th graders on our signature hike through the rainforest in the scenic hills of Costa Rica’s Central Valley. They came together as a group as they tackled adrenaline-filled challenges like whitewater rafting and waterfall rappelling. Their instructors, Diego, Mauren, and Joshua were so happy to witness the personal growth and development of these students and are excited to see their newfound confidence lead them to even more success in high school!
Here's what their instructors had to say:
Diego: “I was so proud to see each student put in the maximum effort to conquer their fears, especially with the waterfall rappel!”
Mauren: “It was great to see the students eagerly push themselves out of their comfort zone to really grow from this experience.”
Joshua: “I’m happy for everyone to have gained more self-confidence and understanding before heading off to high school”
