No se necesita experiencia previa de navegación o idioma para unirse, ¡aunque sí ayuda! Nuestro Surf Camp se lleva a cabo en Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica, que se encuentra en la costa del Pacífico Norte.
Tamarindo es un destino de surf de fama mundial con tres playas diferentes y docenas de diferentes lugares para descansar en el área inmediata. Esto lo convierte en un lugar ideal para un campamento con surfistas de todos los niveles y habilidades, desde principiantes hasta avanzados. Ciertas partes de la playa son perfectas para los principiantes, mientras que a unos doscientos metros de distancia es un descanso completamente diferente, ideal para niveles intermedios y avanzados. A medida que los estudiantes progresen en su capacidad, serán desafiados con olas más grandes y más técnicas. Esta playa de arena blanca tiene más de una milla y media de largo desde el punto hasta la desembocadura del río.
Nuestro instituto privado español está literalmente justo en la playa con vista al océano y está en el centro de la ciudad. Esta ubicación central lo hace a poca distancia del surf, el complejo de alojamiento y todos los restaurantes y tiendas locales. Participamos en varias actividades culturales, desde clases de baile latino y clases de cocina, hasta clases de yoga en la playa para prepararnos para el surf. Las clases de español son de 8:00 a.m. a 12:00 p.m. o 1:00 p.m. a 5:00 p.m. El horario semanal dependerá de las mareas para asegurar el mejor surf. Los fines de semana, exploraremos la provincia circundante de Guanacaste, que es una región de Bosque Tropical Seco. Esto significa que llueve menos y los días más soleados, incluso en la temporada verde. Hay montañas, volcanes, ríos, cascadas ocultas, playas desiertas, islas vírgenes y bosques primarios por descubrir.
Descenderemos por ríos de montaña, tiraremos a través de las cubiertas forestales, haremos cabalgatas en playas de arena blanca, haremos kayak en islas, nadaremos en bahías de aguas cristalinas y caminaremos hacia cascadas imponentes. ISLS está comprometido a ayudar a proteger la belleza y el ambiente natural de Costa Rica. Para devolver, todos los estudiantes participarán en una limpieza de la playa todos los viernes y una parte de la matrícula de cada estudiante se donará a la Fundación Surf Rider local.

No prior surf or language experience necessary to join, although it does help! Our Surf Camp takes place in Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica, which is located on the Northern Pacific coast.
Tamarindo is a world-famous surfing destination with three different beaches and dozens of different breaks in the immediate area. This makes it an ideal place for a camp with surfers of all levels and abilities, from beginner to advanced. Certain parts of the beach are perfect for beginners, while just a couple hundred meters away is a completely different break, great for intermediate and advanced levels. As students progress in their ability, they will be challenged with larger and more technical waves. This white sand beach is more than a mile and a half long from the point to the river mouth.
Our private Spanish institute is literally right on the beach overlooking the ocean and is in the middle of town. This central location makes it walking distance to the surf, the lodging compound and all the local restaurants and shops. We participate in several cultural activities from Latin dance classes and cooking classes, to Yoga lessons on the beach to warm up for surfing. Spanish classes are from 8:00 AM to 12:00 Noon or 1:00 PM to 5:00PM. The weekly schedule will depend upon the tides to ensure the best surf. On the weekends, we will be exploring the surrounding Guanacaste Province, which is a Tropical Dry Forest region. This means that it gets the least rain and the sunniest days, even in the green season. There are mountains, volcanos, rivers, hidden waterfalls, deserted beaches, pristine islands and primary forests to discover.
We will raft down mountain rivers, zip line through forest canopies, horseback ride on white sand beaches, sea kayak to islands, swim in crystal blue bays and hike to towering waterfalls. ISLS is committed to helping protect the beauty and natural environment of Costa Rica. To give back, all students will participate in a beach clean-up each Friday and a portion of each student’s tuition is donated to the local Surf Rider Foundation.
