We recently spoke of some tasty and healthy recipes from our very own health food aficionado, Monica Chen. This installation of recipes for Quinoa will be sure to please, as it certainly does here on the Outward Bound Costa Rica base. Having spent many months in the region of South America where Quinoa comes from, […]
Outward Bound Costa Rica has been fortunate to have some great people working for a great cause. Our recent marketing intern Kirsten was certainly part of that fantastic team. Many of the students will remember Kirsten, who worked hard to manage the arrival and departure for most of the summer courses. Kirsten hails from Alaska […]
Here at Outward Bound Costa Rica headquarters lunch is often a time for the staff to share stories of their time on course over a nice group meal. On certain days, that group meal is good enough to really get the group talking, and today was no exception! A recipe for fried chicken by instructor […]
Costa Rica is certainly home to a very rich environment! Take a look at a video recently put together showing the sites and sounds around the rich coast, which turn any trip into an adventure!
Over the summer, we invited all our Alumni to write a short essay, 300 words or less, about how their Outward Bound Costa Rica experience affected who they are today. Several people, of all ages and from different parts of the world, submitted really touching essays. Thank you all! And know that all the essays submitted […]
Outward Bound Costa Rica offers three intense semester courses each Fall and Spring: Tri-Country, Water and Wave, and Leadership. Ranging from 65-85 days, these courses offer students ages 17+ the opportunity to have an in-depth Outward Bound experience. Tri-Country Semester This course is most well-known for its coast-to-coast hike across the entire country of Costa […]
Why sit in a classroom when you could be earning college credit while surfing, kayaking, white-water rafting, and SCUBA diving in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama?! If water sports and travel appeal to you, then the Water & Wave Semester is for you! The course starts Sept. 26 and runs through Dec 4th. It is […]
When most people think of COSTA RICA OUTWARD BOUND, they think of outdoor adventure sports, such as trekking volcanoes, zip-wire flying and SCUBA diving, in remote exotic places. But what few may not know is that one of the core values of COSTA RICA OUTWARD BOUND is community service. All of our courses, whether they […]
We get constant requests to share our Facebook and Flickr photos with parents, Alumni, as well as their friends and family. In order to access our Facebook photos, you need to send an “add as a friend” request to “Bandido” (the CRROBS “official” profile on FaceBook) and then, send a message to “Bandido” requesting photos […]
Since I have only been working as “Social Media Guru and Marketing Coordinator” at Outward Bound Costa Rica for just over a month, executive management thought it would be a “good idea” to send me out on an actual CRROBS course, so I could really “experience” what our experiential courses are all about. Therefore, they […]
*This reflection was written by 17-year-old Volcano/Panama student Alle Hunter after completing her course* Do you know that feeling when you hop off a plane and you look around and nothing is familiar? Do you know that feeling when you see a crowd of new faces, but you don’t know anyone? Or how about the feeling […]

A Peace of Mind: A Self-Journey Through the Rainforests of Costa Rica By Era Keys Every trial and tribulation that I experienced in each phase; hiking phase, surfing phase, river phase, and […]
Outward Bound Costa Rica is often associated with university students, the Girl Scouts, and adventurous youth groups and young travelers; however, unlike Trix™, we are not just for kids! We have several adrenaline-charged; make-your-friends-insanely-jealous; economical adult courses which range from an Adult Surf Getaway to venues for a new career in outdoor adventure sports and […]
Just this morning, the entire 24 Day Multi-Element Course left us. It is always a tear-jerker: both among the Outward Bound Costa Rica staff and the students, themselves. This group was an especially gregarious group of Americans, Canadians, Spanish, and English students. They started their 3-week adventure on June 30 and after jungle trekking; white […]
It was another great course with Canyon School (aside from all of their flight complications, of course). After more than three years of coming to Costa Rica with its tiny eighth grade classes (usually 8-10 students!), Canyon School Elementary was back again for a course meant to mentally and emotionally prepare its students for heading […]
