Costa Rica July 2012

Official Sponsor of Costa Rica National Rafting Team

Less than one month until the start of our 2012 Teacher Trip in Costa Rica. It is going to be an amazing six days. Costa Rican Resource is looking forward to showing teachers a trip they will  remember for a lifetime. With six days of fun learning, cultural immersion, and adventures, we hope to convince the teachers to return with their students to experience some of the incredible trips we have to offer.

Go Diego Go! One of our Naturalist Guides

This year will be having three coaster buses with over 45 educators from all over the US and from all levels of education. Each bus will have their own naturalist guide and as most of you know our theme this year is Biomimicry. During the trip we plan to give you a chance to not just learn about nature but show you how we can start learning from nature to make for a more sustainable planet.
Our goal as a company is to get kids outside to develop a respect for the natural world. Travelling with CRR, students will experience a different culture through a traveler's eye, not the tourist's view point.  Remember "The traveler sees what he sees while the tourist sees only what he has come to see." - G.K. Chesterton

We will be updating this blog daily. It's a great way for family, friends and students to follow the adventure. We also welcome and encourage their comments.

Pura Vida,
The CRR Team
