Río Seco is a small town of about 400 people near the
Guanacaste coast. The JumpStart camp in this site will be composed of
students from three communities: 27 de Abril, Paraíso, and Río Seco.
Both of the camp facilitators also reside in these communities. 20
students, 15 girls and 5 boys, will be attending the camp.
The students from this area have a multitude of
opportunities to use English around their communities due to the tourism
industry. Río Seco has a large zip lining business that employs people
in the area. The participating students all look forward to improving
their English during the camp in order to built a strong foundation for
high school. Eventually, these students aspire to find high paying jobs
with their English skills.
