1. Oh, fun!
My daughter spent just a couple of weeks there during high school. She really liked it. Now remember that Costa Rica is a Latin country. And the males there act a bit...shall we say Latin. Unattended females seem to be fair game. (I'm assuming you are female. :-))

But you should have a great time!

What part of Costa Rica? I spent 8 days in Tamorindo and loved it (It's in Guanacaste)

5. Here you go
http://adventure-costarica.com/travel/costa_rica_national_parks/la_selva.htm

It's in a National Park that's north of San Jose, so you'll be in Central Costa Rica. Make sure you get to the Pacific Coast - I loved it there

8. I'm certainly going to try to see the sites,
but they have us working for most of the week. I bet I could carve out some time though. I bet it's beautiful.

11. Whatever you do - don't miss Arenal
I did, but only because it was active the week I was in Costa Rica and there were a few deaths. No one would go near there. But it's a beautiful place

7. A friend of mine spent 3 years there
From the photos he brought back, it's paradise on Earth.

Play nice with the other kids! :)

10. Be packed and ready to go on June 6.
I don't have plane tickets yet. The organization is handling all that, since they're paying for it.

19. Did you know
That there is no Costa Rican military. They got rid of them years ago, and have not had any problems since.
