Projects
We’ll have several projects for team members to participate in during the trip. Our plans include adding some finishing touches to last year’s project, as well as completing landscaping and other tasks requested by the school.
Excursion Options
The excursions are optional. We’ve decided to stay around San José at the end of the trip, since the beach excursion significantly increased the overall cost. Below are some excursion options for you to consider. You’re always welcome to simply rest and relax at Suites Cristina if you prefer! You will need to finalize your choices by February 1 so we can finalize our reservations.
