Summer camp: Sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica

Summer camp: Sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica

This summer camp is ideal for young people aged 15 to 17 who want to contribute to the protection of sea turtles. The aim of this project is to preserve the beach environments where sea turtles come to lay their eggs. You have a role to play in these conservation efforts!

In addition to this project, you will take part in leisure activities with other participants to immerse yourself in the local culture!

 

The Volunteer Project

To help local teams protect sea turtles and their environment, your tasks are varied and may depend on the timing. In general, you will:

  • Protect new nests
  • Assist in flipper tagging
  • Participate in beach clean-ups
  • Help classify plastics
  • Release the newborn turtles!

More information about the activities and schedule is available in the brochure.

Taking part in this project raises young people’s awareness of environmental conservation issues. It’s also a great opportunity to improve your English while engaging with the local community and having meaningful and enriching exchanges.

 

Cultural Activities

Here are the typical activities offered:

  • Hiking in San José
  • Excursion to Poas Volcano
