Katie Berrell, a 2014 Rhinelander High School graduate and freshman on the Ripon College women's volleyball team, will travel to Costa Rica May 22-30 for Beyond Sports' third annual Costa Rica Volleyball Tour.

Berrell joins a team of all-conference honorees and statistical leaders from colleges across the country that will play against Costa Rica's national volleyball team and top club teams.

In addition to the outstanding competition, athletes will also provide sports clinics for Costa Rican youth. One clinic will be held at a local school in San Jose, while another will be in partnership with Special Olympics of Costa Rica.

The group will visit Manuel Antonio National Park and Volcano Arenal during the tour with opportunities to zip-line through the rainforest, learn to surf, and encounter wildlife such as monkeys, sloths, toucans and iguanas.

Beyond Sports, founded in 2010, is the first study abroad program designed specifically for student-athletes. To date, they have hosted athletes from over 140 different colleges across the country through summer, Jan-term and semester programs in Costa Rica.
