Intercultura Teen Spanish Camp takes place from July 25th to August 9th.The program is 2 weeks long. Teens arrive at San Jose Airport (SJO) in Costa Rica and from there, the adventure begins as teens are taken to their host families in Heredia.
From Monday to Friday, teens take 3.5 hours of Spanish classes per day with our fully credentialed professors, who have been specially trained to teach adolescents in a fun, communicative and real-life context. Classes alternate between mornings and afternoons, and take place in our air-conditioned classrooms or in tropical gardens at our beachfront campus if not on the beach itself! During the other half of the day the teens engage in activities such as surf classes, turtle or dolphin watching, ecological hikes, kayaking, boating, bonfires and music on the beach, Latin dance, evening outings, and movie nights, along with visits to the National Theater, coffee farms, ruins and lots of cultural activities and community projects just to name a few. In addition to weekly tours and excursions, campers will travel every weekend to remote areas of Costa Rica to discover some of the best places this country has to offer along with some out-of-this-world activities.
Teens will arrive on Sunday, July 25th at San Jose Airport (SJO) and will leave on Monday, August 9th. They will be picked up by their families where they will be staying for the first week, sharing breakfasts and dinners with their new family. While in beautiful colonial Heredia, teens will attend Spanish classes in the mornings and participate in numerous fun activities such as salsa dancing, where they will learn about the rich culture of Costa Rica. On Friday afternoon they will depart for Arenal Volcano and Monteverde for 3 days, where they will get to know this quaint beach community, go by boat to Tortuga Island and, with any luck, see humpback whales! On the island, they will snorkel, swim, and eat succulent grilled fish or chicken right on the beach. After a swim in the famous Montezuma waterfalls, the teens will depart for the Sámara Campus where they will check into their hotel (with AC, a swimming pool, cable TV and Jacuzzi). In Samara, classes will alternate between mornings and afternoons, and the rest of their time will be filled with fun activities such as surfing, kayaking and turtle watching, along with cultural activities such as Latin dance classes, arts & crafts, local cuisine etc. After graduation on Friday, they will leave for Rincon de la Vieja, where they will go on an exciting zip-line tour, and go horseback riding to hot springs and waterfalls. On Sunday they will return to their homestay in Heredia for one last night before they say good-bye to their new-made friends and leave Costa Rica on Monday. Teens will make new friends in a nice and healthy environment where they will open their mind to new cultures and languages.
