Build an Adventure


Daniels Academy

Daniels Academy returned to our San Ramon de Tres Rios base on Sunday evening after successfully completing a 3-day segment on the Rio General. Yesterday the boys and their teachers went on a canopy tour and relaxed locally before heading out this morning. We are so proud of Daniels Academy’s students for all they have accomplished during their Custom course with Outward Bound Costa Rica! At this point the boys have partaken in Scuba diving and whitewater rafting excursions and have learned about themselves  and what they are capable of doing along the way. Keep up the good work, boys!
