Come share in an exciting and unique travel & service opportunity to Costa Rica with the CREER Service Organization and Jubilee!. Through this journey you will have a true opportunity to experience the authentic rich culture of this incredible country while doing work to support the people, communities, and the preservation of the land and the environment. Our guides for this adventure will be Ryan Lubbers, along with Joshua Canter, Kristin “Luna” Canter, and Mauricio Jaen, the co-founders of the CREER Service Organization. Throughout the program you will have an unforgettable experience, full of adventures through the Costa Rica landscape, connections with the local people, and outreach work. In a time where our world is becoming more
and more of a global family, what better way to be part of the bridge of support we are creating, by taking part in this international service mission. During the program we will participate in several service projects including projects such as:tree planting, work on the local school, work on a local library being built, care for the endangered turtles, beach cleanup, and the opportunity to
share your individual gifts with the local villagers (ie. art,music, dance, sports). Lodging is in rustic cabins and dorms. (private upper class accommodations are also available upon request.) Our programs will be 2 rural villages of Costa Rica. Site #1 will be in a small village in the mountainous region near the Arenal Volcano. Site #2 will be located at the beach village of Matapalo in the central pacific region of Costa Rica.
