SPANISH PROGRAMS FOR TEENAGERS

Designed for connection, adventure, and growth.

Summer Camp & Year-Round options: Beach & City 

At Intercultura, teens don’t just learn Spanish — they live an adventure they never forget. Through our immersive programs, students build confidence, friendships, leadership skills, and cultural understanding while exploring the best of Costa Rica in an inclusive international community. Our Teen Spanish Adventure Camp combines exciting activities like surfing, rainforest ziplining, snorkeling, volcano hot springs, kayaking, and beach bonfires with dynamic Spanish classes that are interactive, engaging, and genuinely fun. With small groups and exceptionally well-trained and caring staff, every teen feels welcomed, supported, and part of the community from day one. If summer isn’t the ideal time to travel, our year-round teen immersion program offers the same authentic cultural experience and personalized attention with flexible dates throughout the year.

"Neila is absolutely loving her experience, her family, her school. Intercultura has been absolutely fantastic with her. This has to be the best hosting organization that you have the privilege of working with!! Holli and Annia are both so kind and so thoughtful, making her feel heard, seen, and loved. While far from home, she has been able to make Heredia home, and it's because of all that they and her host family do."
Catherine Rumfelt, mother of Neila, High School Abroad Student, 2026

WHY TRAVELING ABROAD IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?

High School Group, Florida

“This program is absolutely excellent. It surpassed my expectations…The “Tica” moms were wonderful. Communication with the host moms was more than I could have asked for. You really have developed an incredible program for high school students to partake not only in Spanish classes, but also volunteer opportunities as well as a number of cultural experiences. Kudos to you all! Thank you!”
