Summer Camp in Costa Rica Â– An Affordable and Unforgettable Experience

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 18, 2010 ) SAN JOSE, Costa Rica Â– The summer camp headquarters are situated at the foot of the RincÃ³n de la Vieja Volcano near Liberia, Guanacaste. Strict advocates of ecotourism, Hotel Hacienda GuachipelÃn is surrounded by native tree gardens, exotic flowers, a great variety of birds and astonishing views of the volcano and the Pacific Ocean.

Every morning, campers will wake up to the Â“mooingÂ” of cows roaming through the pasture and help the cowboys with farm chores before they head out on excited excursions. Horizontes and Hotel Hacienda GuachipelÃn take teens to National Parks around the area to discover the natural wonder and wildlife. Participants will visit the local volcano and get to take a dip in the popular mud pools. Not only will guests learn about Costa RicaÂ’s vast ecosystem, but they will really get to know the people as well. Campers volunteer at the Liberia orphanage for two days, interacting with children and making their home a more vivid place to live.

Campers will have a loads of time to enjoy the activities based right out of the camp headquarters: horseback riding tours, a zip line canopy, tubing tours at the rapids of the RÃo Negro, various hiking trails, natural hot springs, crystal clear waterfalls, virgin forests, and relaxing volcanic mud pools Â– just to name a few. Back at the hotel, participants will be able to relax in the pool, take part in hilarious leadership activities, practice their Spanish and learn about the Cosmos in the Star & Planet Search Program. Kids will even take a course in First Aid and CPR.

Parents can rest assured their children are in safe hands. Owner of Hacienda GuachipelÃn, JosÃ© TomÃ¡s Batalla runs an operation to the high standards that he holds for his own beautiful family.

Â“The idea of a Summer Camp in Hacienda GuachipelÃn has crossed my mind so many times. All the students groups, my children and those of my relatives and friends, always have a blast when they meet here in the hotel. At the end of their vacations they donÂ´t want to leave. Of course, they take home hundreds of pictures and lots of information to share with their folks at home and their class mates at school,Â” Batalla said.

During 26 years, Horizontes Nature Tours, has been responsible to make each journey in Costa Rica country not only a perfect vacation but also an enriching life experience; one which combines all the elements of fun, safe adventure, learning and personal growth, while promoting a greater understanding of nature and humankind.
