LAX in Paradise
Tour
Overview
This adventure is a vacation and Lacrosse experience wrapped in one. Our athletes will compete in a USA vs Costa Rica series with the Costa Rica National Team. In addition to the lacrosse competition, we'll visit the Capital City, the Rainforest, and the Beach! Zip-lines, waterfalls, and more are all included in this amazing eight day adventure that you will never forget.
Tour
Details
- WHO - Lacrosse (MW) Ages 14-25
- WHAT - USA vs Costa Rica Series
- WHERE - Costa Rica
- WHEN - July 23-30, 2026 (8 days)
- HOW MUCH - $3,790 per traveler*
*If paying in full and up front for all travelers. The price is $300 more if using a payment plan or adding additional travelers to the tour after the athlete is enrolled. We have this pricing structure to absorb the costs that last minute additions cost. Otherwise, most families would just deposit for the athlete and add the guests at the last possible moment. As you can imagine, that’s difficult to plan for – so we incentivize the former.
- NOTE: This trip does not include your International flights. For Costa Rica we find it easier and less expensive for our travelers to book their own flights from their hometown directly to San Jose, Costa Rica instead of trying to meet at a USA departure airport like we do for our trips to other continents. We can assist you in this booking.
