Camping Programs in Costa Rica

The course allowed me to build up technical and jungle specific skills whilst embracing and enjoying the jungle environment. The breadth of activities was great and it means I feel I’m leaving with a broader understanding on not just outdoor based skills such as kayaking and starting fires but also leadership qualities and the realities of managing a big team effectively in difficult environments. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I had such a good time whilst also learning a lot about myself.

This course is a wonderful blend of leadership training, travel organization training, and technical wilderness skills. You start out in Wales where you engage in mountain leader skills, then you move on the Costa Rica where you spend the majority of the course. The Costa Rican portion consists of a nice blend of jungle trekking, navigation, activity based leadership (ziplining, biking, kayaking, etc), and general cultural immersion. I would highly recommend this course for anybody who is exceptionally adventurous and wants to break into the outdoor industry as an expedition leader.
