    Overview

    Pure Life Adventure is a Wilderness Adventure Program for teens and young adults in Costa Rica. We provide intermediate level treatment, utilizing traditional individual and group therapy in combination with outdoor experiential learning and adventure. 

    Our three month program integrates adventure type activities such as surfing, rafting, and backpacking with cognitive behavioral therapy which help our students overcome challenges and build a ‘tool box’ for difficult times. We also provide students with opportunities for cultural immersion, community service, and nationally recognized adventure certifications.

    Pure Life Adventure runs on a rolling admissions process. Students admit on Mondays and discharge on Wednesday. The daily rate is $810/day with a $4900 admission fee. Most students are with us 11-12 weeks. 

    Testimonials(3)

    • My wife and I are truly grateful that our son was able to go to Pure Life and work hard to start the process of finding himself. Going to Costa Rica was not on our radar when we first explored programs. Thanks to all of the people involved in his life there, he is a better person, and for this we thank you all. Again, from the bottom of our hearts we thank you. You guys are awesome.

    • When I arrived at Pure Life in April of 2024 I had low self esteem and no confidence. I am glad I came because now I have a whole new life, I am happy, I am healthy and I am being a productive member of society. The time I spent in Costa Rica at Pure Life has been the most impactful, life changing experience of my life. I do not know where I would be today if I had not made the decision to go Pure Life but I know it would not have been pretty. Best decision I ever made.

    • My experience at Pure Life was more than I could have hoped for. The supportive atmosphere and structure of the program combined with the culture and lifestyle of Costa Rica had such a profoundly positive effect on me. After my time there, I felt more comfortable being myself, a much stronger leader and a more emotionally healthy person.
