ISLS, The Institute for Spanish Language Studies, is a Spanish immersion institute in Costa Rica that specializes in Youth Spanish Camps. We are proud to be entering our third decade in business, providing children and teenagers with educational and fun study abroad experiences. Each of our Spanish Camps is designed to combine the learning of the language with fun, adventurous, educational and culturally significant activities.

For summer 2013, we are offering five different Teen Spanish Camps in Costa Rica for students 13 to 17 years of age.

Teen Spanish and Surf Camp
Teen Spanish and Surf Expedition
Teen Travel Camp
Teen Spanish and Volunteer
Teen Spanish and Adventure

It really is our most exciting and diverse selection of camps yet. Our Spanish, Adventure and Travel Camp is a two week program that combines the best aspects of a Spanish immersion program with the excitement of travel through different parts of Costa Rica. Along with Spanish classes and adventure tours, it includes overnights in the jungle and rainforest and visits to volcanos. To find out more about this program and its itinerary, please visit our Travel & Adventure Spanish Camp.

Our signature Teen Spanish and Surf Camp, offered in Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica, is still the only one of its type in Latin America. Our Teen Spanish and Volunteer Camp is primarily located Turrialba, Costa Rica, and is a true immersion and service program. Our Teen Spanish and Adventure Camp in Costa Rica, combines immersion Spanish with exciting and adventurous activities just about every day of the week..

We are also doing a new and exciting Teen Spanish and Surf Expedition. This is an old fashioned two week Surf Safari! We have a dedicated van and driver that will take us to a number of different amazing surf beaches in the southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica. Students are able to surf every day of the camp while still receiving 40 hours of Spanish classes over the course of the camp. Space is very limited and will book up completely.

For our younger students we have the Children's Spanish, Art and Sports Camp in Playa Tamarindo. This is the perfect camp for families traveling to Costa Rica with children between the ages of 4 and 12. It is the perfect combination of Spanish lessons, cultural activities, games and adventure tours. Parents can take adult classes, or just relax and do their own things during the six hours each day that the children are with us. We also have our own family compound right near our school and the beach with 7 air-conditioned condos, surrounding a private swimming pool in a tropical garden.

Combine Camps! All five of our Teen Camps in Costa Rica are designed for students to be able to mix and match. Also, with our Weekly Blocks, students can attend a camp from one week up to six or they can attend two or three of them. Our start dates are every Sunday for seven weeks during the middle of the summer starting June 16th.
