Overview
In the heart of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, teens aged 15 to 17 come together for an unforgettable experience. With its lush jungle and stunning beaches, Gandoca sets the stage for an adventure like no other. Our focus is on making a real impact – whether it’s preserving sea turtles, cleaning up coastlines or supporting sustainable farming. Come join our Gandoca crew and contribute to meaningful change!
Teens on this program actively participate in sea turtle nesting projects and contribute to beach cleanups, sustainable farming initiatives and recycling projects.
Throughout this program, teens will receive training, guidance and support from world-class leaders in the field, carefully chosen for their expertise and ability to inspire and mentor young people. This hands-on experience will help participants develop valuable skills such as intercultural competency, teamwork, resilience, self-awareness, and leadership – essential qualities for their future college applications and employability.
In July and August, be ready for long, sunny days. You might encounter some local wildlife like insects and bats, but it’s all part of the adventure. Mosquito repellent will come in handy. Keep in mind, sometimes luxuries like warm water and electricity might be unavailable, but it’s all part of the authentic experience of living in this beautiful place!
