BACK TO TOP TOURS AND ACTIVITIES DESCRIPTION 2008 SUMMER CAMP FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS *In ALL activities and tours outside of class, students will be encouraged to practice their Spanish* Dancing class: Dancing is very important in the Latin culture. Students will learn Salsa, Meringue as well as other traditional rhythms. Cooking class: Students will prepare some typical Costa Rican dishes and learn the vocabulary of the main ingredients used in Costa Rican cuisine. Art class: Students will draw, paint and create paper collages. Students will be encouraged to use their imagination and discover new things in their environment. This class is in Spanish.   Volunteer work/Service Learning: Participants have the opportunity to volunteer in public schools in poor areas. Each volunteer works with a group of students who are from 7-12 years old. Their activities include: teaching some English to the children, singing songs in Spanish and English, maintaining the school facilities and working with the children in the school's vegetable garden. Coffee Tour: Students will visit a “finca” (coffee farm) where there is a bilingual presentation that describes the historical importance of coffee to Costa Rica. The tour also shows parts of the production process and ends with a coffee-tasting session.     Arenal Volcano: Two days - one night. (Transportation, hotel accommodations & meals included) Visiting the active volcano is an unforgettable experience. The best time to see it is definitely at night when the expelled lava from the volcano can be seen. Participants will visit a spa close to the volcano which has natural hot-water springs.   Poas volcano, river boat & waterfall: This field trip includes a visit to the Poas volcano, La Paz Waterfalls, a boat trip on the Sarapiquí river and a drive through Braulio Carrillo national park (rain forest). They will see along the way huge coffee plantations, dairy farms and big cultivations of strawberries, black berries, ferns and ornamental flowers. They will take a jungle motor boat to see the jungle and farms along the Sarapiqui River. Later they will penetrate the heart of Costa Rica's famous Braulio Carrillo National Park, an immense tract of mountainous rainforest with breathtaking views. The Butterfly Farm: This is a great place to visit. It is located just outside of San José . Students will learn about the relationship between the beautiful winged insects, their host plants and their predators, as well as the amazing transformations that take place within their life cycle.       Zoo Ave: Students visit a non-traditional zoo park located in La Garita, Alajuela. It is a center of birds in danger of extinction. It is also home of local and foreign species. This zoo is a unique experiment of rescuing wildlife.     Isla Tortuga: This is a trip by the sea. Students enjoy the sparkling ocean and the scenery offered by the picturesque islands of the Gulf of Nicoya. The Tortuga Island has an exotic white sand tropical beach. The ocean on the Tortuga Island is quite calm and appropriate for swimming and kayaking. Beach & Rain Forest tour>: Students travel to the Pacific coast to the Carara Biological Reserve. They visit one of the few places showing the transition between rain forest and the dry tropical forest. This characteristic has made this trip very informative, since they can find a wide diversity of birds, plants, reptiles and other mammals. After hiking the forest students will go to a beach hotel where they can enjoy the hotel facilities, as well as the beach.     Monteverde Cloud Forest (2 days, 1 night): This is one of the best areas to see beautiful mountains with plenty of animals. The hotel has a breath taking view of both the Arenal volcano and lake. Lava flows from the active volcano which is best seen at night, creating an unforgettable experience. Complementing this experience the students hike through the cloud forest. Country Club: Students visit a country club with swimming pools, basketball courts, soccer fields and other sports facilities.   Concert Jazz Cafe: This restaurant hosts live bands every evening. Some of the most popular Costa Rican musicians perform here. City tour: Students learn about the history of San José and visit the main points of interest in this capital city.       Sports: Students will play soccer (the most popular game in Costa Rica ). They will also play basketball, volleyball and other traditional Costa Rican games. Indoor Soccer : In the evening they will play soccer, the most popular sport in Costa Rica . Social: Students meet to share games, practice some dances and have fun with the other students. It is a great time to socialize and interact among themselves. Bowling: In the evening students are taken in a bus to enjoy the game. Movies: Participants are taken in a bus to watch a movie in a mall. Movies will be picked according to the season. Roller Skating: Students go in a bus to a roller skating ring which is open to the public and this is an opportunity to have fun, relax and do some exercise. It is a place where they meet locals and will practice their Spanish. Shopping: Students are taken to Moravia, famous for handcraft stores and other shops where they can get Costa Rica products.
