Project Independence
Independent trips for those brave enough to take the road less travelled with a group of like-minded friends.
The project independence team is made up of students from all over the country excited to take the adventure of a lifetime. Running independently of school, you’ll get all the benefits of the training, support and safety of a World Challenge experience with a ready-made team of like-minded young travellers who you’ll get to know in the build up to the trip ahead. Each year, we hand select a list of the very best destinations and have (limited) spots available for those brave young souls ready to take up the challenge. All that’s left to do is choose your destination, sign up and put the dates in your diary.

Your school trip to Costa Rica awaits
Plunge into a tropical playground that’s alive with dazzling birds, electric green frogs and slow-moving sloths. One of the most ecologically diverse countries on the planet, Costa Rica has two dazzling coastlines and a lush interior of misty volcanoes, remote cloud forests and jungle-clad peaks.
There are rainforests to trek through, whales to spot and tropical shores to paddle along. In the towns and villages, you’ll discover Spanish architecture, buzzing markets and pulsing Latino culture. And make some time to chat with the locals, discover the meaning of ‘pura vida’, and be inspired by a country that runs almost entirely on renewable energy.
Remember, you’re walking the path towards true global citizenship. Tap into your inner potential, step forward to contribute and absorb everything this trip can teach you about the world and your place within it.
“ Summiting the mountain in Costa Rica was the most rewarding experience I've ever encountered. The hardship was completely surpassed by the satisfaction of reaching the top to look down at our accomplishment.”
Darcy, Challenger
