WILMINGTON — Wilmington College’s women’s basketball team will play friendly games and join in a cultural exchange during a trip to Costa Rica next year that also features such adventure travel opportunities as zip lining, whitewater rafting and a catamaran tour.
Members of the public are able to join the team on this unique nine-day excursion that combines the sport they love with an immersion into a unique, Central American culture.

The itinerary includes five nights in the capital city, San Jose, and three nights in a coastal city on the Pacific Ocean. The $2,400 cost covers the round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, three daily meals, local transportation and a full-time bilingual tour director.
The team will play three international games and participate in a community service activity that’s open to all travelers. The tour features a walking city tour of San Jose, excursions to Volcano National Park and a coffee plantation tour, as well as opportunities to experience the country’s beaches and stunning scenery, and opportunities to interact with local residents.
