Teen Intensive Spanish (Tamarindo)

Practice makes the master!

Focus and determination are key in mastering any skill. But if this skill learning can take place surrounded by exuberant nature and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, so be it! Our intensive and interactive immersion Spanish classes in Playa Tamarindo mix a well-structured learning program with fun and unforgettable time in paradise. Add in weekend adventure tours, evening cultural activities, a weekly service project, and you'll get an exciting and challenging study abroad experience.

No prior language experience is necessary to join, although it does help! Our Spanish Camp takes place in Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica, which is located on the Northern Pacific coast and is a world-famous surfing destination

Besides the Spanish lessons, we’ll have cultural activities such as Latin dance classes and cooking classes. On the weekends, we will explore the surrounding natural wonders of the Guanacaste Province, we will raft down mountain rivers, zip line through forest canopies, horseback ride on white sand beaches, sea kayak to pristine islands, swim in crystal blue bays and hike to towering waterfalls. We are committed to help protect the beauty and natural environment of Costa Rica. To give back, all students will participate in a beach clean-up each Friday.

Our Playa Tamarindo Teen Camp has both an Overnight (Residential) Camp option and a Day Camp option. All students attend 4 hours/day of level-appropriate Spanish lessons and lunch, Monday through Friday. Both camp options are composed of the same basic daily structure and itinerary, plus three different afternoon activities from which to choose: Surf, Adventure and Intensive Spanish.

In addition to the above schedule of lessons and activities, residential campers also receive lodging at our camp compound, all meals, a two-day weekend adventure tour, 24-hour supervision and accident/travel insurance. We offer Airport pick-up and drop-off service for all students and families.
