Summer Adventures in the Rain Forest for the Whole Family

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- JOURNEYS International announces their newest family travel program, Rain Forest Adventure Camp, an activity-packed week of learning about the tropical rainforest and about Costa Rica, designed to engage the whole family.

JOURNEYS Rainforest Adventure Camp for families is based at La Quinta Country Inn, a lush property in the fertile Sarapiqui region near Braulio Carillo National Park. Red ginger plants and banana trees bloom right outside the comfortable air-conditioned guest rooms. Families have their own private porches with hammocks. The gardens are full of colorful frogs, butterflies and tropical birds, and the open-air dining room overlooks a swimming pool nestled in the trees.

"The accommodations are comfortable, the plan is flexible, the learning is non-stop and the agenda is FUN," states Joan Weber, Director of JOURNEYS International. "We are excited to offer family travel to Costa Rica more easily and more affordably than ever before, with the same energy, professionalism and personal attention that has built our reputation over 30 years." Weber has received Conde Nast recognition as Top Travel Specialist for Multi-Generational Travel for eight consecutive years.

Family members from age 4-84 can choose from a wide range of daily adventures including searching for bugs and bats and monkeys at Tirimbina Reserve and La Selva Biological Station, visiting a pineapple plantation, riding horses, playing soccer with local schoolchildren, and learning crafts, cooking, Spanish language and Latin dancing. Thrill-seekers can go whitewater rafting and zip-lining over the rainforest canopy.
