Costa Rica Spanish Immersion (13-17 years):

Location: Costa Rica is a truly wonderful location to immerse yourself in the Spanish language and Central American culture. The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful, the people are incredibly friendly and life is very comfortable!

Our Costa Rica summer camp takes place on the campus of a  very nice high school in the peaceful community of Heredia, on the outskirts of the capital city of San Jose. But San Jose and Heredia are not the only places you'll see. You'll visit active volcanoes, incredible waterfalls, butterfly gardens, coffee plantations and rainforests teeming with animals you have only read about!

Course:

Perhaps what makes this program most unique is the mix of  immersion language classes with service learning, usually at local schools or orphanages. The program also offers rich and varied cultural activities that include dance classes, indigenous arts and crafts and cooking lessons. Of course, there is always time for relaxing and there are weekly sports activities such as swimming and soccer as well as leisure activities such as movie nights and concerts.

Classes are offered Monday to Friday from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. Classes cover all aspects of Spanish language learning including grammar, vocabulary, oral comprehension and oral fluency. The emphasis is on conversation and you will be encouraged to speak in class as well as use the Spanish you are learning when you are with your host family and out exploring.
