[quote=Anonymous]I cannot comment on the Costa Rica trip that most students who are taking Spanish go on - but the smaller Costa Rica trip for kids taking "Spanish Humanities" (who are fluent in Spanish because they come from dual language feeder schools or because they speak Spanish at home) is amazing. They spend half their time doing fun stuff (white water rafting, surfing at the beach, staying at an eco farm) and the other half living doing a home-stay (living with a Costa Rican family in a village / small town and doing community service building bonds with the families, school kids, town mayor etc). It is a much smaller group (20 - 25 kids) and they bonded really well. If a family can afford it, I think it is worth it. (And if a family can't, I think that there are funds to cover the trip).
