Join us in Costa Rica for unforgettable memories and valuable service work! We will have the unique opportunity to perform 20 hours of valuable service work in two different communities.

Best Week of my Summer!
by: Sarah Esbenshade - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Costa Rica Adventure and ServiceMy trip to Costa Rica was easily the highlight of my summer, and an experience I will never forget! During my ten days there, I was able to experience so many amazing opportunities to learn about culture and explore the unreal nature. We went on a two day river rafting excursion, zip lined through the jungle, learned to surf, and visited natural hot springs. Despite all of the thrilling adventures we went on, my favorite part of the trip was volunteering with a local children's school. During our time there, we were able to meet an amazing group of kids and help organize their school. My highlight of volunteering here was definitely playing soccer with the whole group. It started off as a small game, but more and more people joined in to create a huge game with everyone. It was so much fun and a memory I look back on frequently. Overall, this trip was filled with unforgettable experiences that I'm truly grateful I got to have.
Costa Rica Trip For Middle School
by: Nate Schaeffer - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Costa Rica Adventure and ServiceI would recommend TFT over any other Teen Tour Company. I took the Hola Costa Rica Middle School Trip. The counselors made me feel welcomed from the very beginning when I stepped onto the bus for the first time. Everything felt incredibly safe. The counselors and staff at the activities and service made sure to check up on us and make sure that we were doing okay! Everyone on the trip was so nice. It was only another boy and I on this trip with 12 people total. But, the other kids made sure that we were both included In games and other activities! I can’t wait for my trip next year!
Great Summer Adventure!
by: Mayah Casey - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Costa Rica Adventure and ServiceI am so happy I chose TFT for my first summer trip abroad as a teen. My trip was the Costa Rica Service and Adventure. I was able to go kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, zip lining, and swimming, while also doing community service and giving back to students at a local school. It was an incredible adventure; all the staff was nice, friendly, welcoming, and made the whole trip a positive experience. I met a very nice group of friends, and created bonds and friendships I can hold onto forever, as well as tried awesome new activities that I would never have the good fortune to do! I felt such pride in being able to help the children. I am extremely thankful that I had this opportunity, and excited to take another trip this summer!
