Woodlynde Students Experience the Beauty and Biodiversity of Costa Rica

Fifteen Upper School students spent their spring break exploring the San José, Puntarenas, and Alajuela provinces of Costa Rica.
 Students enjoyed the country's richly diverse flora and fauna as they hiked through two national parks, swam in the Pacific Ocean, got up-close with crocodiles on a river tour, zip-lined through a rainforest, and whitewater rafted. Interactive activities such as a folklore performance, a cooking class, and tours of a dairy farm and a coffee plantation allowed students to learn about Costa Rica's cultural heritage, cuisine, and agricultural products. Woodlynde students had the opportunity to practice their Spanish-speaking skills as they chatted with local students, played pick-up soccer, and donated bilingual coloring books and a futsal ball to a school and a community sports complex.
