GCCC Community Development Initiative

Raising $10,000 to construct the GCCC Outdoor Learning & Play Complex on our campus

An IRS approved 501(c)3 Public Charity 🇺🇸

Help Us Build the Guanacaste Children's Community Center

Our Community Play Days have been overwhelmingly successful, proving that access to a secure, nurturing environment like the Guanacaste Children’s Community Center and supportive learning is transformative.   

To meet the increasing interest and demand to utilize this space for public good—allowing us to host more days, serve more children, and expand our programs—we must move beyond temporary solutions and invest in permanence.

The Vision

The Vision: We are raising $10,000 to construct the GCCC Outdoor Learning & Play Complex on our campus. This is a permanent, multi-functional center designed to deliver:

✔ Developmental Play
Accessible, active space promoting physical health, coordination, and social skills.

✔ Structured Programs
A dedicated area for hosting continuous educational and developmental programs for all local children.

✔ Community Resource 
A permanent, safe hub for local families to gather, learn, and grow together.

We are prioritizing industrial-grade durability. This complex will be built with heavy-duty materials ensuring it is a vital, multi-decade investment in the future of the region.  

In parallel with fundraising, we will actively explore all available community resources. This is a crucial step to ensure we are leveraging all possible avenues of support and understanding the existing framework of assistance. If you know of a resource that could help, please contact us.

Built for Resilience and Impact

Industrial Playset (Swings, Slides, Climbers)

The Gross Motor & Socialization Center: We require a commercial-grade, multi-component playset (including swings, slides, and climbing elements) built with powder-coated metal and sturdy plastic. This structure is essential infrastructure, engineered for safety and longevity in the Costa Rican climate, providing critical space for children to develop gross motor skills, practice conflict resolution, and engage in social play.

Aerial Climbing Structure (Tree Net)

The Proprioception & Confidence Net: This multi-dimensional Aerial Climbing Structure encourages risk assessment, spatial awareness, and core strength development. It’s a dedicated space for older children to build proprioception (body awareness) and confidence as they navigate a challenging, yet safe, environment.

Sustainable Learning Center (Future Phase)

The Living Classroom: Applied Science & Entrepreneurship: Creating a sustainable chicken coop and community garden will be Phase II of our Complex, unlocked through the initial investment. This hands-on center will allow students to learn applied biology, environmental stewardship, and sustainable food production, directly teaching them about resource management and self-sufficiency.

Transparency and Communication

We believe in full transparency. Our supporters will receive updates on how resources are used and the tangible outcomes of our programs. We track progress through quarterly reports, highlight success stories (while respecting privacy), and invite you to stay connected via our newsletter and social channels.
