My Nonprofit Reviews

I spent 1 week in CCS Costa Rica with my teen daughter and niece. I chose this program based on a personal recommendation from a friend who has done 4-5 CCS trips (both on her own and with her teenage children) so I was physically and mentally well-prepared for the trip. The actual experience so exceeded our expectations that we all three wished we had selected a 2 or 3-week program instead of the 1-week one. Everything from the pre-trip support, the in-country staff (extraordinary!), the placement and the impact we made there to the cultural activities, the food, and the fellow volunteers was a 5-star experience. Even the dorm-style accommodations and limited restrooms were clean and cared for with pride. I did find my earplugs very useful for sleeping in the evening.
