High Waters in Costa Rica

Good morning parents:

I wanted to let you know that we’ve been in touch with our Costa Rica base this morning because of flooding related to heavy rains in Costa Rica. This has happened before in this area of Costa Rica, and are coordinators have an emergency plan. 

There are large areas of standing water around our base, the Chilamate Rain Forest Eco Retreat (see attached picture). Right now the rains have stopped and we believe this is the high point of the flooding. If the water continues to rise, there is plenty of high ground nearby to where the group can go to wait for the waters to fall.

The group is in high spirits and are enjoying seeing the Costa Rican ecosystem first-hand upon arrival. I'll update this blog today with more information, if the group does not blog their experiences first-hand.

If you have any questions, please email me on ross@worldleadershipschool.com or call (303) 679-3412. I am attaching a picture of the high water, so you can understand better.

Thanks,

Ross Wehner
