Several teen summer programs travel to the rainforests, beaches and rivers of Costa Rica. Only Broadreach takes the adventure to the next level with leadership training and real world skill building.
Beyond the rapids of the Pacuare, beyond the hiking trails of Corcovado, and beyond the zip line. That’s where you’ll find our Costa Rica. Broadreach approaches this stunning country with an itinerary built entirely around skill development and personal growth — designed to showcase the best in you, as well as the best in Costa Rica. Instead of just whitewater rafting, complete a Trainee Rafting Guide certification. Rather than hike the backcountry, learn to survive in it. Earn a Wilderness First Aid certification, learn fire building and how to track wildlife, and more. Do Costa Rica our way.
“Not only did she enjoy the adventures, she had the opportunity to give back to the people and environment through service.” — Carol Zagrodny, Lincoln, RI
Can you see yourself as the leader? As one who understands low impact camping, can survive in the outdoors and make water drinkable? We can. Come to Costa Rica as you are. Leave an experienced Wilderness First Aid provider, outdoor trekker, whitewater rafter and swift water rescuer. Master a lifetime of skills in just three weeks.
