  <body><![CDATA[<p>This December, Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech (ORGT), will offer its first international Eco-Adventure to Costa Rica!  Known for a variety of outdoor opportunities and exotic wildlife, Costa Rica is the perfect location for an adventure vacation. From coastal kayaking off of the beach of Manuel Antonio to canyoneering and a jungle canopy tour, this trip has it all! Activities will include:

</p><ul><li>Class III-IV Whitewater River Rafting</li></ul><ul><li>
Canyoneering</li></ul><ul><li>
Hiking through the Rainforest</li></ul><ul><li>
Coastal Kayak Touring</li></ul><ul><li>&nbsp;Jungle Canopy Tour</li></ul><ul><li>
Snorkeling</li></ul><ul><li>
Adventure Education
</li></ul>
<p>While exploring, trip members will experience full cultural immersion with local Costa Ricans. A major highlight will be living and working closely with a family on an organic farm. Participants will learn how to enjoy and respect the Costa Rican way of life.
</p>
<p>Sign up online beginning Monday, August 17. There will be a mandatory pre-trip training session to prepare for the physical rigors of the trip, especially challenging hikes through the rainforest. </p>
<p><em>ORGT has partnered with "Go Green Adventure Company" to create a trip which lessens the negative impact of travelers on the environment.  Mindful of vulnerable areas, trip leaders will plan activities in designated locations to reduce harm to the local habitat; but our efforts to protect the environment do not stop there. A portion of the funds from this trip will subsidize efforts to plant trees, rescue sea turtles, and build communities in Costa Rica.</em>
