ISLS has put together a fun and adventurous Spanish Summer Abroad Camp for teens in Costa Rica & Mexico. We have three camp locations. Playas Dominical and Tamarindo is Costa Rica and Puerto Escondido, Mexico.

Playa Dominical is located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica in the tropical rainforest. There are toucans in the trees, iguanas on the beach and monkeys in the forest surrounding the small pueblo of 800 permanent residents.

Playa Tamarindo is located on the Northern Pacific Coast and is one of Costa Rica’s most popular beach and surf spots, and just a short distance from another famous surf spot, Playa Grande. It is a dry forest area and the main beach is about a mile long crescent of sparkling white sand.

Puerto Escondido is located at the southern end of the Mexican Riviera, just south of Acapulco on the Pacific side. There are seven sun drenched, white sand beaches in and around the town, including the World Famous Mexican Pipeline at Playa Zicatela. There are about 10,000 residents and the main trade is fishing.

While on the program, students will be housed in resort hotels. Hotel Villas Rio Mar, is the nicest hotel/resort in the Dominical area. Hotel Tropicana in Playa Tamarindo is a great facility across the street from the main beach. In Puerto Escondido the Hotel Santa Fe is a beautiful old Colonial style hotel steps from the beach.
