Coast to Coast Expedition: Costa Rica & Panama

What’s the best way to explore two Central American countries? Go on a cross-country expedition with OBCR and trek from the Caribbean to the Pacific! Our Coast to Coast Expedition Semester is an 85-day course with an immersive journey on foot through valleys and lush rainforests for 26 days. You will have the opportunity to brush up on your Spanish and immerse in Costa Rican traditions while through a homestay with a family in a rural area. Boost your leadership and raft-guiding skills through challenging and exhilarating whitewater rafting excursions. Explore remote tropical islands on a kayak and catch some waves on world-renowned beaches. Then, travel to Panama to earn your NAUI scuba certification in tropical waters and try your hand at sailing, wakeboarding, and snorkeling. At the end of the program, you will earn First Aid and CPR certifications, as well as up to 12 academic credits. *Please note that, for the health and safety of our participants, OBCR has made program adjustments to these courses.
