Teen Summer Camp 2026:
Learn Spanish, Surf, & Volunteer
“Hands-down the most engaging Spanish program out there.”
They come Back more fluent, fearless,
And with a deeper cultural perspective.
You’ve probably heard other parents mention it.
The summer camp where their kid came back more confident, with improved Spanish skills,
and actually excited about something other than their phone.
👇 This is THAT summer camp 👇
20 Hours of Spanish Classes Every Week
Here’s what this isn’t: A bunch of grammar worksheets in a classroom that smells like dry erase markers.
Here’s what it is: A small, focused classes taught entirely in Spanish by real native instructors, helping your teen actually use the language in conversation.
It’s not about memorizing verbs.
It’s about learning how to order food, talk to friends, and hold their own in a new country. This kind of fluency doesn’t just help them pass tests. It sticks with them for life.
Surf Lessons at One of the Best Beaches In the World
It doesn’t matter if they’ve never touched a board before. Every session is about building confidence, getting outside their comfort zone, and doing something they’ll actually remember.
Twice a week, your teen will paddle out at Playa Tamarindo, one of the top surf spots in the world.
The water’s warm, the beach is soft, and the vibe is pure Costa Rica. No sharp rocks. No stress. Just good waves and better instructors.
And yes, surf boards are included ;)
Epic Adventure Tours
Every Week
One day they’re zip-lining through the jungle.
The next, they’re hiking to a waterfall or kayaking out to a hidden beach.
Every week brings a new kind of adventure that’s a little challenging, a little thrilling, and a lot of fun.
And the best part?
It’s not just about the adrenaline. It’s about the confidence they build, the stories they bring home, and the friends they make along the way.
Plus, residential campers can also enjoy special weekend activities!
Hands-on
volunteer projects
Twice a week, your teen steps into something bigger than themselves.
Whether they’re helping protect sea turtles, planting trees, or supporting a local shelter, they’re not just learning—they’re contributing.
These projects give them a clearer view of the world and their place in it.
They teach empathy, open their eyes to different ways of life, and show what it really means to make an impact.
A Safe, Supportive
Home Away From Home
It’s quiet. It’s secure. And it’s the kind of place where teens settle in fast.
Just outside of town, the camp lodge gives them space to unwind between all the action.
Private pool. Open-air hangouts. Basketball and tennis. Fresh air and freedom.
There’s round-the-clock supervision, bilingual staff, and a setup that keeps things structured but never strict. They’ll feel comfortable, included, and right at home—even if it’s their first time away.
And for you? It means peace of mind from day one.
Worried About Safety? You should be.
That’s Why
We Obsess Over It
We understand. You’re not just signing your kids up for an adventure. You’re putting their well-being in someone else’s hands.
That’s a big deal. And we treat it like one.
Our camp follows a strict safety-first policy. There’s 24/7 supervision, bilingual staff trained in child care and emergency protocols, and all activities are run by trusted, vetted local partners. No off-site trips without permission.
The camp site is gated and quiet, just outside of town, and provides private transportation. We keep parents updated, kids supported, and the focus where it belongs: Learning, growing, and staying safe while doing it.
Why This Camp
Is One of the Best Decisions
You’ll Make for Your Teen
Because summers shouldn’t be wasted.
They shouldn’t be all screen time, boredom, or checking boxes just to “do something.”
This camp gives your teen something real. Something lasting.
They’ll learn to speak Spanish by actually speaking it.
They’ll surf, explore, and volunteer. Not in theory, but for real. They’ll meet new people, step outside their comfort zone, and come home standing taller than when they left.
This isn’t just a summer away. It’s a turning point.
The kind that builds confidence, perspective, and memories that stick for life.
You don’t get many summers like this. And they don’t stay teenagers forever.

They’re young people who got a taste of something real, and it shows.
"My son and his friend had an amazing time at camp.
They wanted to stay longer but I had to get back to work.
My son enjoyed learning Spanish as well as the excursions.

"Teen Spanish camp - Great experience for my son"
Tripadvisor review: Explornatura
This was my 14 year old son's first two weeks away at camp and his first international trip alone. He loved the activities and the whole experience. The camp took great care of my son and were always available to us. The camp also limited phone use, which was refreshing. Any teen with a love of nature and outdoor activities will love this camp. My son reported that all the staff and other campers were very nice to him. And he learned some Spanish as well. Highly recommend.

"My life changed forever"
"With Massi's wonderful help Miguel was able to put together a great experience that we will not forget.
Canyoning, rafting, tours, botanical gardens, hanging bridges and the beaches as well as national geographic moment watching sea turtles lay eggs.
I look forward to having you help my friends and family travel south of the border again soon."
- Harry

There’s still time to give your teen something that’s more than just a camp.
This is the kind of summer that builds fluency, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the world. It’s the growth that happens when learning feels alive, and the impact lasts long after they return home.
Real progress in Spanish through cultural immersion and daily conversation.
Life experiences that build confidence, purpose, and independence.
A global perspective shaped by culture, adventure, and connection.
Spots are limited, and the first camp begins soon. Don’t wait to give them an experience that will stay with them for life.
