Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica is located on the northwestern Pacific coast. It is the perfect place for a family to combine a Spanish language program with a vacation. This also makes it the perfect place for our Children’s Spanish, Art and Sports Camp.

Children's Spanish, Art and Sports Camp – This is the only children’s Spanish camp of its kind in Latin America. Each day, Monday through Friday in July, we combine two hours of fun and interactive, age appropriate Spanish language classes with lunch, games at the beach, soccer games with local children and a number of adventure activities. The six hours that the students are in the program  from 8am to 2pm are designed to expose children to the Spanish language and the culture of Costa Rica. Our goal is to have the kids learn Spanish while having fun on the beach in Costa Rica. The camp is available to children ages 6 to 12.

Playa Tamarindo is also great for adults of all ages who want to have fun in the tropical sun. There are numerous resorts and housing options, copious adventure activities, incredible swimming beaches and first class restaurants. A great deal of money continues to be put into the areas developed infrastructure. There are banks, ATM’s, modern supermarkets, internet cafes and medical facilities. Parents can choose to relax each day while their children are in the camp, or they can choose to take the adult classes and improve their Spanish. Either way the children will be doing fun and educations activities all day.
