Beyond the classroom:
You know that look — the one where a student’s eyes light up because they finally get it. Now, imagine that moment happening while they’re standing on a moonlit beach in Costa Rica, helping a hatchling sea turtle reach the ocean for the first time.
At EcoTeach, we were founded by teachers, for teachers. We know that your "to-do" list is already a mile long, which is why we’ve spent 30 years perfecting a streamlined, stress-free process for getting your students into the field.
If you’re ready to move from lesson plans to flight plans, here is your 5-step roadmap to getting started.
Every EcoTeach trip is customized. It's help to think about your goals. Are you looking for a biology-heavy research expedition, a deep dive into Spanish language immersion, or a service-learning project that supports local communities? Knowing your "why" helps us build the "where."
Visit our Custom Quote Page to tell us about your group. Whether you have a specific itinerary in mind or just a rough idea of your dates, this form gives our coordinators the info they need to build a draft itinerary and a transparent price point — including our Conservation Impact Pricing that shows exactly how your trip gives back.
Once you’ve submitted your quote request, you’ll be paired with a program coordinator. Think of us as your logistical support. We’ll hop on a call to refine your itinerary, discuss safety protocols, and ensure the trip meets your school board’s requirements. We handle the accomodation, the transport, and the 24/7 in-country support so you can focus on the teaching.
We don’t just leave you with a flyer and wish you luck. We provide the resources you need to host a successful parent meeting. From safety FAQs to videos of our guides in action, we help you communicate the value of this "full-circle" experience to parents and students alike.
Once the deposits are in, the countdown begins! You’ll be assigned one of our legendary naturalist guides — like Pika or Frank — who will be with your group from the moment you land until the moment you head home. You aren't just taking a tour; you’re joining a 30-year legacy of educator-led conservation.
