Intercultura Costa Rica Overview

COSTA RICA TEEN SPANISH & ADVENTURE CAMP AT INTERCULTURA

Expand your Horizons through Language, Culture, and Adventure

Through Intercultura Costa Rica's Teen Spanish Summer Camp, teens experience true cultural immersion through daily Spanish classes while living with a local Costa Rican family, participating in daily activities, service-learning and adventure tours around the country. An owner-run language school founded in 1993 by our Costa Rican and European/US directors, Adelita Jiménez and Laura Ellington, Intercultura has offered the Teen Spanish Summer Camp since 2003. Our internationally recognized programs are fully insured, provide a 1:8 student-chaperone ratio, offer multilingual support staff and credentialled professors and trip leaders.

We believe that immersion experiences truly change a person, offering new perspectives and mind-opening opportunities to understand what it means to be communicate in and be part of a global community.

Teens learn cross-cultural, empowered communication skills through classroom learning and hands-on experience interacting with Costa Ricans from all walks of life. Throughout the camp, teens are pushed to step out of their comfort zone, explore the concepts of social responsibility, intercultural intelligence and learn how to use today's technological tools as an agent for positive change. At the end of the two-week camp, they will not only have moved closer to their goal of Spanish fluency, but also increased their intercultural intelligence AND their confidence to navigate the quickly changing culture of our world.
