Summer camp is an eco-focused camp arising from the need for children in small rural communities to access and participate in recreational and educational activities for summer vacation. This camp takes place in January, coinciding with the end of sea turtle nesting and the beginning of the dry season on the tropical Pacific coast of Costa Rica when children and teachers are out of school. RPT will provide a staff member with experience in camp logistics and curriculum development during two week-long sessions designed to nurture environmental values and principles of future generations.

The objective of this initiative is to guide youth and promote conservation by inspiring an appreciation of natural resources near their communities. Proposed activities include inquiry driven activities, short presentations about marine life, sea turtles and their habitats and threats, a beach cleanup, and various field-based programs including a visit to the sea turtle hatchery, working at the Butterfly Garden, setting up cameras traps, trips to the archeological museum in the south and a one day snorkel tour to see hawksbill turtle habitat near the coast.
