Girl Scout Destination Courses
Underwater Explorers #1
The first group of Scuba diving Chica Scouts arrived on Tuesday and so far they’ve been keeping busy with whitewater rafting and celebrating a student’s birthday with a queque and piñata! Now they’re off to Bocas del Toro, Panama to get NAUI certified.
Catching Waves #1
The girls arrived on Thursday and today are off whitewater rafting. Tomorrow they’re heading to Avellanas, a beautiful beach in the Guanacaste region, where they’ll be learning to surf with our skilled surfista instructors Dunia and Tania!
Build an Adventure
Outward Bound Peace
Outward Bound Peace has been hiking in the Piedras Blancas community and learning about peaceful practices, staying with local families and participating in farm activities that make up the everyday lives of Ticos who live rurally. Participants will perform a ‘solo’–where they will be alone in the evening time to reflect on their experiences with Outward Bound and the lessons they have learned thus far.
Virginia Girl Scout Troop
A Virginia Girl Scout Troop went to Playa Avellanas to do a service project helping to secure a habitat for sea turtles (night patrol to catch poachers, cleaning nesting areas, etc). They worked with a local non-profit to protect the beach and make sure it safe and secure for sea turtles. They also participated in a 5-day surf program where the girls were instructed by an expert about how to surf.
