The Costa Rica trip 2016 was a great experience, especially for students that have never been out of the country! Even though it was only a week, it felt like two weeks because each day was packed with great activities. We started off by visiting a coffee plantation and then the Poas Volcano, which had a gorgeous view. We went zip lining and saw many beautiful views of the Costa Rican jungle and its wildlife. We even visited a hot spring with many warm and cool pools created by the geothermal springs. On a boat tour, we saw many animals (like a sloth!) and crossed into Nicaragua. We participated in an engineering lesson about windmills on our drive to the beach. Even though the trip was short, we made our time useful so we could get the full Costa Rican experience! A huge thank you to our teachers Ms. Ratliff and Mr. Lamb for making this trip possible!
