Exploration Seminar to Costa Rica

Are you interested in natural science and human culture? Maybe you are eager for a hand’s on learning experience that builds scientific, artistic, and language skills? Would you enjoy hiking some of the world’s greatest rainforests as you look for macaws, toucans, monkeys, sloths, anteaters, tapirs, and snakes? Can you imagine walking a beach at night in search of a sea turtle making her nest so that you can secure the eggs in an conservation nursery before poachers make off with them? Or is discussing human values, attitudes, and sustainability more your style? If you answered yes to these questions, then we want to make sure you know about a 5 credit class offered this summer (late August – September) that will give you all these opportunities and many more.
