Drummers Immersion/Jungle Backpacking
Dancers welcome, dance to live drumming for a week, this is the trip for you!
Costa Rica 2010, March 10-19th
9 days of Drumming on 93 private acres of jungle, rivers and adventure await!
Each day starts with a new rhythm and song. By days end it will BE a part of you.
Playing 3+hours a day this is the way to learn, no distractions, only peaceful surroundings!
We take our drums with us everywhere we go, making music on your learning journey.
Along with exploring our immediate area (93 acres of pristine, untouched jungle!) we will visit the
quaint town of Arenal with local cuisine, go soaking in a thermal river, chill one afternoon lakeside,
discover the Arenal volcanoe (optional canopy tours), spend a day kayaking, always with LOTS of hiking and
discovering new places and friends along the way.
At weeks end we'll have a group performance and BBQ at local venue to show off your new skills.

Make your Reservations today...only 3 spaces.
| $375/person, camping (bring your own camping gear) | call for booking |
| $525/person, with strap cajonbek
(adds $150, reg $190) I highly recommend these drums since they very lightweight, sling on your back while hiking, and most important for Costa Rica they are not effected by moisture or rain, just wipe it off and keep playing! (A wet djembe doesn't work for long!!) |
