Outward Bound Costa Rica: Gap Year & Semester Abroad Courses in Costa Rica & Panama
Our Gap Year and Semester courses are far from the traditional study abroad program—spend your semester in the rainforests, rivers and reefs of Costa Rica & Panama.
Participants can earn up to 12 academic credits, 7 internationally recognized certifications and community service hours. Our two courses—Outdoor Leader Semester and Coast to Coast courses—are offered in the Fall and Spring of each year.
