Get ready for a transformational 8 - day 7 - night adventure as we team up with our Alliance Partner Kids Saving the Rainforest for an unforgettable experience in Costa Rica’s vibrant jungle.
This trip isn’t just about travel—it’s about impact. You’ll witness wildlife up close, support wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, and contribute directly to KSTR’s mission of protecting the rainforest through education, research, and hands-on conservation efforts.

This trip blends hands-on impact, cultural exchange, and pure Costa Rican magic—all in one unforgettable week.
Together, we’ll:
Volunteer at a wildlife rescue sanctuary, helping care for sloths, monkeys, and other native species
Explore Costa Rica’s iconic parks and hidden waterfalls, from Manuel Antonio to Nauyaca
