Experiential Learning Programs
   
         
    Calacirya Foundation is an organization dedicated to facilitating growth.  Beyond our work with indigenous peoples of Guatemala we are also committed to bringing people from different parts of the world together to learn from one another.  Calacirya Foundation invites individuals and groups to take advantage of the unique opportunity of living, learning, and volunteering amidst the beauty and warmth of Guatemala. Our goal is to teach through involvement with indigenous communities and team oriented experiential learning activities.  Trips are designed on an individual basis according to personal and team goals.  Because we enjoy the confidence of the local people, no matter what they choose, groups and individuals are given a rare and intimate opportunity to experience life within Mayan communities.  
           
Whether doing volunteer work in the highlands of Guatemala or sailing the Caribbean, our programs are experiential in nature, fun by design and flexible enough to work for a large cross-section of people.  Our approach is based on a model of appreciative inquiry in which members can learn the difference between focusing on problems, and moving in harmony with their teammates towards solutions.  This critical difference illustrates a little used understanding and is an important key to making positive changes individually or in a group. Calacirya Foundation offers a prime opportunity to discover one's innate potential.  Introducing the element of a foreign culture opens people to change and learning. Combining this concept with volunteer work and our experiential learning programs makes time spent with Calacirya Foundation a truly exceptional experience. When peoples of different cultures are brought together in the spirit of good will and understanding, life-changing events happen.
           

All trips include community service, team building, cultural awareness, personal growth and a lot of fun!
