Pura Vida (“Pure Life”) is our introductory international adventure and community service program for middle school students. Spend time in a small tropical village and experience the best Costa Rica has to offer. Work with an eco-community focusing on agricultural systems. Help with butterfly and other wildlife field studies at a neighboring national park. Visit a local school to help teach English and share games with our young Costa Rican friends. Discover hidden waterfalls, snorkel crystal blue waters, and zip line through the rainforest canopy all before closing with a celebration on the beach.
