Costa Rica's reputation for rainforests, volcanoes and biodiversity carries straight through into its camps, both residential programs built around wildlife, conservation and language learning alongside more adventurous pursuits like zip-lining, kayaking and snorkeling. One sits near La Fortuna, in the shadow of Arenal volcano, the other further east in Cartago province — giving families distinct residential settings to choose between within this small but ecologically rich country.
