Schedule
Every morning and afternoon volunteers meet in the common area for a meeting where they discuss tasks for the day, any issues with the animals and/or center in general. They also eat meals there, play games, get to know one another, jam out on the guitar, and relax as there are hammocks upstairs.
Here is an example of a typical day at the center:

Extra Information
Costa Rica has a warm and humid environment, but our Center is fairly shaded, making the working conditions fairly comfortable. There is a washing machine and clothesline available to clean your clothing as well as a refrigerator for the volunteer’s food. At the center, we have electricity, flushable toilets, showers, and WiFi. We recommend volunteers bring a headlamp to get around at night and also bring hiking boots or tennis shoes.
The dorm rooms for our volunteers have 6-12 beds per room, and we provide sheets and mosquito netting (blankets are not included), but we recommend bringing a new mosquito net and warm clothes to sleep in, or a blanket as it can be a little cold at night. Also, you need to provide your own towel for showering and/or swimming
We have a pool, common area, and hammocks for relaxing during downtime.
