Costa Rica Summer Camps for Students & Teens

Embark on an unforgettable journey with Costa Rica Summer Camps for Students & Teens, where adventure, service, and cultural discovery come together in one of the world’s most biodiverse destinations. Designed for teens ages 13-18, these immersive programs offer the perfect blend of excitement, personal growth, and meaningful impact—making them the ideal choice for students seeking both fun and purpose during their summer break.

Experience the thrill of Costa Rica’s natural wonders as you zipline through lush rainforests, surf the rolling Pacific waves, and explore vibrant local communities. Our summer camps are carefully crafted to foster skill development, leadership, and global awareness. Participants engage in hands-on ecological conservation, such as rainforest animal rescue and habitat restoration, gaining firsthand knowledge of environmental stewardship while making a real difference. Community service projects allow students to connect with local residents, develop empathy, and contribute to sustainable initiatives that leave a lasting positive impact.

Beyond adventure and service, our programs emphasize cultural immersion. Teens will practice Spanish, savor traditional cuisine, and embrace the “Pura Vida” lifestyle that defines Costa Rican hospitality. Through guided excursions and interactive workshops, students broaden their horizons, build cross-cultural friendships, and develop confidence in new environments. These experiences not only enrich personal growth but also enhance college applications and future career prospects by demonstrating initiative, adaptability, and a commitment to global citizenship.

Safety and support are at the heart of every program, with experienced staff and carefully selected locations ensuring a secure and nurturing environment. Whether you’re passionate about wildlife conservation, eager to try new sports, or looking to make lifelong friends from around the world, Costa Rica summer camps offer something for every interest.

Don’t miss your chance to create unforgettable memories, develop valuable skills, and make a meaningful impact this summer. Join us in Costa Rica and discover a world of adventure, learning, and personal transformation. Apply now to secure your spot and start your journey toward a brighter, more connected future!
