 Every week our group is given a fixed amount of money to manage and organize weekly events. The role of activity manager rotates between members in the community, giving everyone a chance to learn about the process of budgeting, time management, and organization. After several months of planning and saving, our guys were able to take advantage of their activity surplus and spend the weekend surfing and relaxing in Cahuita. The guys utilized public transportation and cooking their own meals so they'd be able to pay for their cabina and recreational time.

 Our recent Aventura found us in San Jerónimo de San Pedro, a small coffee growing community nestled near the new entrance to Chirripó National Park.  The trip's focus was building and reinforcing two bridges along the newest trail to Cerro Chirripó (the tallest peak in Costa Rica). We worked side by side with the community carrying wood, clearing the ground, and hammering nails to complete the project. This experience strengthened the bond both within our group and with those that we helped. We aslo taught English classes, completed a hike with seven waterfalls, and made the summit to Cerro Ena, which boasts an altitude of 3126 meters. |
