Walking Tree Travel in Denver, Colorado, specializes in high school student summer travel programs in Costa Rica. Our travel programs incorporate cultural and language immersion, community service abroad, and adventures to enable travelers to see themselves, other cultures, and the world in a new and exciting light. We have found that our most rewarding student travel experiences have been as active members of international communities rather than tourists. Our summer student travel programs are designed for a proactive, select group of travelers who are not looking for the typical tourist trip but rather an opportunity to interact with another culture, participate in international community service, and volunteer abroad all while forming relationships that will continue long after the return home.

High school student summer travel programs are available in San Jose, Pura Suerte, Manuel Antonio, Arenal, Monteverde in Costa Rica. Programs are also available in China, Perú, Senegal Guatemala, Nicaragua and Mexico.
