Leadership Conference & Arenal Region
9 days
Costa Rica
Travel isn’t just about discovering new destinations; it’s also about discovering new parts of yourself and unearthing your responsibility to the world around you.
After harnessing The Power of Environmental Stewardship at our inspirational leadership conference in San José, head to Costa Rica’s lush Arenal region. Here—amidst geothermal hot springs, majestic rainforests, and volcanic terrains—you’ll embrace a holistic approach to ecotourism. In doing so, you’ll deepen your connection with nature and thoughtfully engage with your surroundings, while also cultivating mindfulness and personal growth.EF Summits are open to rising 9th graders through graduated seniors.
