Summer Courses (Open Enrollment)
Wilderness Immersion with Spanish Emphasis (WISE)
Students in our WISE group had a great time on the river and are now about half way through their hiking phase. This week they’ll be doing a tree climb and a waterfall rappel. These guys look like they’re ready for some high energy fun.
Multi-Element Expedition with Service Emphasis
After getting settled in, the group headed to the Rio General for three full days of rafting with some camping along the way!
Hike & Homestay Adventure #2
The group spent yesterday rafting down the Pejibaye River and woke up extra early this morning to start their first hike. Mucha suerte, chicos!
Paddle & Dive Adventure
On Sunday, the students of Paddle & Dive tried their hand at the Pejibaye River before heading down to Panama yesterday. Today they will start learning the basics of Scuba diving. Thanks to Team Allison from our Marketing Office for snagging a picture of the group on the river!

Build an Adventure
Daniels Academy
Also returning to our Tres Rios base yesterday was the group from Daniels Academy who recently completed a full Scuba certification course in Bocas del Toros, Panama. Today, after some well-deserved rest and relaxation on base, the group will head off to explore the Osa Peninsula. They return to our base next week to begin the river portion of their course.
Girl Scouts of Northern California
Girl Scout Troop #31822 from Albany, California arrived yesterday. After readying their things in the early evening with their instructors the girls turned in to get some much needed rest for the hiking portion of their trip! The Scouts left early this morning for Piedras Blancas where they will stay with a local family and learn about sustainable practices that are a way of life for Ticos who live rurally. Have a great time, girls!
