   | The past weeks have been packed with engaging, interesting, and fun opportunities for our students at New Summit Academy. Integrated Aventuras At the start of the month, students and staff participated in our Integrated Aventuras, which combine experiential, hands-on learning with personal growth in some of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica. Newer students spent the week learning about conservation while volunteering in reforestation projects in the Osa Peninsula. A second cohort of students paddled around the Golfo Dulce, studying tidal fluctuations, watersheds, and coral reefs, along with fishing with hand lines and competing in the famous “Tent Partner Olympics.” A third group of students hiked through Corcovado National Park, learning about forest succession and spotting exotic wildlife including tapir, anteaters and spider monkeys! Weekend Activities Last week, when NSA welcomed a new student into our community, a senior student pointed to our scheduling calendar and said “Just look at what we get to do this weekend!” In just two days, our students had the opportunity to: - Show off their moves at the Roller Disco - Fish in the estuaries along the Pacific coast - Spend the day immersed in Costa Rica’s culture with Homestay Families - Visit the National Theater - Expend some energy at the Trampoline Park - Participate in Film Club |
