After Classes

Once language classes are over for the day, we offer a range of activities and sports to keep students interested, involved and very busy!

The camp activities coordinators schedule activities to ensure that the students learn and participate in as many sports activities, workshops and recreational activities as possible, while they meet people, pursue personal interests and have fun.

The activities are always appropriate for each age level and students will be encouraged to practice their language skills as much as possible.

Sports Activities may be of an individual, group or team nature. Team sports at many of our residential programs include basketball, baseball, soccer, water polo, volleyball, aerobics and mini-Olympics. Individual sports include swimming, archery, badminton, frisbee, tennis and more.

The activities include contests and treasure hunts, theme nights, (costumed, talent show, cultural themes) traditional camp games, discos on site, informal gatherings to watch or perform music or even perform theater and skits in the local language!

A few of the programs offer additional sports lessons such as horseback riding, golf or tennis, for an additional fee.

Cultural Workshops are offered by many of the schools in the time outside the classroom. These workshops can include dancing class (such as learning basic salsa, meringue and flamenco steps), cooking class where students learn to prepare typical local dishes, art classes where students will draw, paint and create paper collages.

Excursions

Volunteering Opportunities are available at one of our camps where participants can get involved with the local community. The projects include working with underprivileged school children in Costa Rica.

These activities are supervised by the school staff and are a great way for the students to interact with the locals and are an opportunity to practice the language, as well.

Excursions are offered at all of our programs and normally include a include one all-day and some half-day excursions are offered during each two-week period. Trips are fully escorted and are to areas of cultural, environmental or historical interest and of course vary a great deal, depending on the camp location.
