Outward Bound Semester Courses
Description
Costa Rica Outward Bound provides students age 17 and older with the opportunity to earn academic credit while exploring Central America.
We’ve specifically designed our semester courses to be different: from other outdoors programs, from traditional study abroad alternatives, and from any travel experience. Course options vary from those focused on personal development and growth to professional certification courses designed for outdoor industry hopefuls. Join us and see how much you can learn about yourself and the world around you with the tropical wilderness as your classroom.
