We will provide traditional Costa Rican dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, if your team has specific dietary needs, please let us know and we are more than happy to accommodate. When the team is away from the building for meals, they will be covered by the package. (Some restrictions apply). TRANSPORTATION
Teams will have their own personal bus transporting them to and from all destinations. There is the option of updgrading beyond the standard bus that is provided, if extras such as luxury seats and TVs are desired. There will always be a guide present to act as a translator and to accompany groups to and from their destinations. We offer volunteer opportunities to help raise awareness of the economic hardship that many men, women and children face on a day-to-day basis. This is a special chance for travellers to make a positive impact in the lives of others and to reduce the social distance in our world. The activities include participating in educational talks in public schools and helping paint classrooms and desks. Depending on the discipline practiced by the visiting team (basketball or volleyball), there is also the opportunity of visiting places with at risk youth such as orphanages and giving sports clinics. Just by choosing this vacation plan, you will be contributing towards a non-profit program that assists local lower class children. The goal of this program is to give these children the opportunities to play sports, just like other youth their age who have full access to them. Emphasis is also placed on teaching the children the importance of education and that if they achieve good grades they could become eligible for a college scholarship in local universities as well as universities in other countries.
