With the support of the Camps teams on the ground, students live and work in rural communities while empowering residents to generate income. Explorica travellers also contribute in numerous ways to protect the environment and conserve wildlife.

Camps in Central America: Costa Rica
Over 50% of the rural communities in the highlands live below the poverty line. Explorica groups will therefore be combatting high malnutrition levels, building greenhouses and educating on nutrition. Planting trees by the thousands, we will also be caring for the environment in this uniquely biodiverse part of the world.
Costa Rica is a fairly small country, but it is still one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. Visitors can explore the Pacific or Caribbean coasts, volcanoes, and rainforests and encounter countless species of mammal, insect, reptile, and bird. While the environment is impressive, there is much more to tempt visitors to Costa Rica. Adventure awaits around every corner, and the unique culture of La Pura Vida beckons through food, music, and art.
