Summer Children’s Spanish Camp (Ages 6- 12)

View a detailed itinerary for the camp.

The Children’s Spanish, Art and Sports Camp is for families looking for an educational and fun vacation for their children. This is the only camp of its type in Latin America and is designed to fit in with family vacations and holidays. We combine a number of different activities throughout each day to keep the students motivated and engaged. This is a much less intense language immersion experience than our teen and adult programs. It is an age appropriate atmosphere for younger children to learn Spanish and have fun.

Students can participate in this camp from 1 to 5 weeks. It is open to all families traveling to Costa Rica with children between the ages of 6 and 12. Parents can take part in our adult Spanish language courses or they are free to relax while their children participate in the camp. Playa Tamarindo is a great place for a family vacation. It is a true tropical, dry forest paradise with plenty of things to do for all ages. It has a safe swimming beach, as well as a great surf break.

The camp is from 8am to 2pm, Monday through Friday. The weekends in the middle are open for families to travel and do their own thing. Every morning parents will first drop their children off at ISLS’s private Spanish Immersion Center and then pick them up in the afternoon. During the day there will always be 2 hours of fun and interactive Spanish classes. There will also be at least 1 other featured activity each afternoon. These activities are art lessons, surf lessons, zip lining tour, soccer matches with local Costa Rican children, beach volleyball games, swimming at the beach, visit to a nearby animal rescue park, and boat tour of the estuary.

We have condos for rent near the school campus for $800 a week. They have two bedrooms, one bath, air conditioning, full kitchen, cable, living area and swimming pool. There is very limited space available in the camp and in the condos. We already have students and families signed up, so if you are interested in this, you will want to secure your slot right away. We also have many other lodging options available in the Tamarindo area, including lodging with local host families. Liberia (LIR) airport is only 45 minutes from Playa Tamarindo or you can fly into San Jose (SJO) which is 4 hours away.
