Children's Spanish, Art, Sports and Adventure Camp (Ages 8- 13) - Start Date July 1st.

Over the years we have had many families with children attend our Spanish programs during the summer. This is an enjoyable and educational way for them to experience a new country and culture while learning a new language. The purpose of our Children's Camp is to combine a number of different fun activities in an overall learning environment. This creates a less intensive and more enjoyable atmosphere for younger children to learn Spanish.

This is a two week long day camp for families traveling to Costa Rica with children between the ages of 8 and 13. The parents can take the adult Spanish language course at our Spanish Immersion Center in Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica or they can relax all day while their children are in the program. The location on the beach is a true tropical, dry forest paradise with plenty of things to do for all ages of the family. It is a great swimming beach as well as a popular surf spot.

The program goes from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday for two weeks. The weekend in the middle is open for families to travel and do their own thing. Every morning and afternoon parents will first drop their children off at the ISLS Spanish Immersion Center and then pick them up. During the day there will always be two hours of fun and interactive Spanish classes. In addition to the Spanish classes and lunch there will also be two other group activities per day. These activities are: Three, two hour art lessons with artist John Brosio, one two hour surf lesson, soccer matches with local Costa Rican children, zip lining tour, beach volleyball games, swimming at the beach, visit to a Monkey Park, Kayaking tour of estuary and Goodbye to Costa Rica party.

The price of the program is $1,200.

Playa Tamarindo is located on the northwest coast of Costa Rica in the Tropical dry forest. It is one of the most popular destinations in Costa Rica for families. There are a number of reasons for this. The weather is the best in all of Costa Rica with the most days of sunshine. The beach is long, white sand and stretches over a mile in front of the town. There are lots of lodging options from inexpensive hostels to 4 star eco resorts. The infrastructure is some of the best in the country and the Liberia airport is only 45 minutes from Tamarindo. Put this together with the incredible diversity of wildlife, national parks and activities and you have a fantastic destination for the whole family.
