Program Overview

This summer immersion program is a dynamic combination of interactive Spanish lessons and practicing your language skills while performing valuable service work and helping the community! In the shorter version of our 22-Day Program, you will take classes in gorgeous open-air classrooms surrounded by nature in the mountainous jungle town of Turrialba and the beachside community of Puerto Viejo.

By keeping the lessons fun and interactive, you will have the opportunity to enhance your speaking skills and better understand Spanish. You will take lessons every morning with local teachers while incorporating fun activities like playing games, singing songs, learning traditional dances, or taking cooking lessons.

Greatest Summer Ever!!

I've traveled abroad with other programs in the past, but none compare to TFT!!! I had so much fun even in the short amount of time we had! The leaders were awesome, the country was beautiful, and the group was wonderful! The group was the perfect size (10 people) so it was really easy to get close to everyone! I had so much fun doing all of these amazing adventure things like ziplining, as well as the service projects and Spanish lessons! It's been the best summer abroad for me yet!!!!!
