activities for high school students

I am scouting for opportunities for high school students to be involved in eco adventure, stewardship, meditation, art, and so forth. Please let me know if you are aware of any such thing in Costa Rica, especially if it is in the Central Valley. I am helping out with a ¨Creativity, Action, Service¨ programme for these bright and original thinkers. Keep me in mind :-)

The CAS program!  Good stuff… I participated in that in Jakarta for highschool and it was a real learning experience.

Anyhow, although I don't have any contacts in Costa Rica for such programs, I'm sure you could find plenty of eco resorts that will cater for such activities.

Here at united adventures, we are working with a number of the international schools (national plus schools next) to design International Award Program walks, Boyscout trips, and field trips.  The schools are hungry for such learning!  I imagine you are a teacher or administrator at one such school?

That's really one of the other economic drivers of the ecoresort village concept - catering to schools and their field trips and facilitating the discovery of nature, themselves, farming, art, meditation, and living in an amazing physical space for a few days.

We've found this to be profitable, and very enjoyable.  For any eco resort operators out there, let me know if you need a template for proposals and I'd be happy to share.

Thanks for the question Lisa, and do let us know if you've found something already, or your thoughts on what eco-resort operators could do to cater to school programs like the CAS one.

Cheers, and warm regards from the archipelago,
