View a sample itinerary

Join fellow students on a 7- or 9-day educational travel course in the rainforests of Costa Rica's Caribbean slope. You’ll travel by boat to Pacuare Reserve—a working field research station stewarded by EPI—and help scientists research and protect incredible species like howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins, and jaguars. Study species behavior, track jaguar presence and migration corridors using camera traps, and explore the impact of climate change on this sensitive ecosystem.

 

EPI’s Individual Student Travel Programs are designed for middle school, high school, and college students. You’ll join a group of other passionate students from all over the country, assist with real wildlife conservation projects, and propel your career path forward with confidence and a new sense of independence.
