Amazing experience even more fun with friends
December 31, 2021by: Sonny Betterton Gage - United StatesProgram: Pacific Surf Camp & Cultural Exploration in Oaxaca, Mexico
I went on this trip the summer of 2021 with two of my friends and it was some of the most fun I had I had so many new experiences in such a small time and I will remember it for the rest of my life. We got to get to cities and wilderness learn about other cultures and do new thing in every activity packed day we also were given independence to explore and learn with the other kids and we were not babied.
Son still talking about the trip!
January 11, 2022by: Arthur Anstey - United StatesProgram: Pacific Surf Camp & Cultural Exploration in Oaxaca, Mexico
Arthur had a terrific time on his trip! He really enjoyed immersing himself into the culture, and improved on his Spanish. Arthur came away more confident in many ways, and still talks with great enthusiasm about his time in Mexico.
I learned a lot about Mexico!
January 18, 2022by: Marlowe Demisch - United StatesProgram: Pacific Surf Camp & Cultural Exploration in Oaxaca, Mexico
This was a really great experience for me and I learned a lot about Mexico. I went to shops, markets, went around Oaxaca, and tried tons of new foods. I felt very inmersed in the culture. I also discivered a lot of Oaxaca city and its history. I learned a lot about mural work, and the colonial color palletes. As someone who lives in New York City, it was really great to compare and contrast the two cities.
