Students on the Teen Extreme Adventure and Spanish Camp will be lodged in a number of different ways. The first two nights students will be housed with specially chosen local Costa Rican families near our Spanish institute in Turrialba. This is a great way to be immersed in the language and culture of the country. Students will be able to practice what they are learning in class with their new families. Both breakfast and dinner are at the house and are great opportunities to connect and share.

The next three nights students will camp. We will have tents, supplies, food and all of the equipment necessary for this. Students will be split up, two to a tent. There will be no electricity, so flashlights will be a must. All food will be prepared by the guides over an open fire and all refuse will be packed back out for proper disposal.

On Friday night students will stay at the Turrialtico Lodge. This is a typical Costa Rican inn situated on a hill overlooking the Turrialba Valley. It has wonderful views and the food is world class. It is nice to sleep in a bed after three nights in the rainforest. For more information about this lodge, check out their web site at: www.turrialtico.com.

On Saturday night we will stay at a jungle tent camp on the banks of the Pacuare River. There are semi-permanent tents that are set up on raised wooden platforms, all of which overlook the river and the surrounding valley. Dinner and breakfast will be served in a covered kitchen and dinning area and the electric generator will be turned off 9 pm.

The last night of the camp we stay at the ISLS Student Guesthouse near the San Jose International Airport. We have a number of shared rooms and a large common room with cable, internet connection and wifi. We will have a farewell dinner with the family that runs the house and then the next day students will be taken to their flights as departure times dictate. All students will receive breakfast and those that have afternoon flights will also receive lunch.
