Program Overview
Our Mission:
The mission of La Asociación CREAR is to provide supplemental educational, recreational, and career opportunities for community members, primarily youth with limited resources, in the rural beach communities surrounding Playa Sámara in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, by offering a wide variety of innovative programs focusing on academic and artistic education, environmental consciousness, health, and socio-cultural development.

Earth Science Month
October is Earth Science Month here at CREAR, and what better way to start it off than with a week learning about plants and seeds? As we educate the kids of Samara, and the surrounding communities, on how plants grow, the organization is undergoing changes, and growing as well.
