Each Friday the school makes available a list of activities for the following week. Instruction includes one free activity per week per student, of those on the list. In order to participate in a given activity, each student need only sign up on the roster. Some activities may change from week to week, and some may require a minimum number of students.

Horseback Riding:

Horseback riding is a worthwhile experience which allows a student to explore nature and to get to know the Indigenous culture in the company of a local guide.

Bird Sanctuary:
The Bird Sanctuary is a natural reserve in a beautiful location, where visitors may relax, enjoy nature and learn about local birds.

Hot Springs: (Eco Spa) (minimum sign-up required)
These are located 45 minutes away by car, along an unpaved road. A visit to these springs will improve your mental and physical well-being.
