TEEN SURF & YOGA TRIP

Nosara, June 2019

What an Adventure!

Our gang proved there’s no better way to kick-off summer than to spend a week surfing and hanging with friends in a tropical paradise.

We had waited so long for this trip. Nine teenagers and four chaperones, all with a host of hopes and dreams. The anticipation was painful. But summer finally came, and we were gone, heading for one of the most beautiful places on earth for seven action-packed days of surfing, swimming, new adventures, and new experiences. The week passed way too quickly, but the memories will be with us forever.

We came to surf and that’s what we did! By the end of the first day everybody was up and riding waves. But it was a lot more than just surfing, like horseback riding along the beach, zip-lining through the jungle canopy and playing football on the beach with a coconut. And we were also all about kicking back, taking it easy, chilling in the pool and, of course, eating. Every other day we gathered for an hour of yoga led by a local yogi. It felt great, leaving us relaxed, re-energized and ready for our next adventure.

We performed the service portion of our trip by visiting a local elementary school just outside of Nosara. As part of the Pack-for-A-Purpose program, we filled backpacks with school supplies and distributed them among the children, visited their classrooms and played an exciting game of soccer.

It was a fantastic week of fun, friendship, adventure, new experiences and a trunkful of memories that will last a lifetime. And our gang was so awesome — always ready with a friendly word and a helping hand, eager to step beyond their comfort zones to experience life to the fullest.

Until next time. . .
