Great opportunity and wonderful experience
July 15, 2026by: Dirk Nielsen - CanadaMy 16 year old daughter was part of this program and had a wonderful time. A great balance of good food, great adventure and a nice safe environment for travel and exploration. Nico the guide was very helpful and a great communicator. This was a great program.
the best experience
July 14, 2026by: Lucy Betty - United KingdomMy experience was honestly unforgettable and one of the best experiences I have ever had. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by both the staff and the other people on the programme. The activities and trips were definitely some of the highlights of the camp. Every day felt different and exciting, and I had the opportunity to experience a new culture, explore amazing places and try things that I probably wouldn’t have done at home. The programme was well organised, and the staff were supportive, approachable and always made sure everyone felt safe while still allowing us to have fun and be independent. One of my favourite parts was meeting people from different places and creating friendships and memories that I will never forget. The experience helped me become more confident, independent and open-minded. I learned so much about the local culture, but I also learned a lot about myself. Overall, I would definitely recommend to any teenager who loves travelling, meeting new people and experiencing new things. It was an incredible experience filled with fun, adventure and unforgettable memories, and I would happily do it all over again.
Taking care of children in costa rica
July 14, 2026by: Paloma Garza - MexicoThis program is such a beautiful experience, because we are not only helping and taking care of children that are in need of comfort and love but we are having fun planning the activities and playing with them. We love the kids and I would come back a thousand times more to see them again.

After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.

By volunteering with Maximo Nivel, I was able to volunteer and be immersed in the culture of the city I helped in. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and this program allowed me to travel the world in an aspect most tourists never get to experience!
