Tico lingo teen camp

My first time going to the tico lingo teen camp was in 2022 as a sophomore in highschool then I went again in 2023 as a junior. This camp has been one of the best experiences I've had. Through tico lingo, I have made connections all over the world. My roommates and I are still in touch and are extremely close due to the time we spent together. When we first arrived everyone welcomed us warmly, which helped majorly as someone who hadn't traveled alone before. The staff did a wonderful job of making sure we got to where we needed to be at all times. All of the staff of tico lingo are absolutely amazing and don't compare to anything back in the US. Specifically professor Freddy has made an amazing impact on my life. He was my teacher my first year and he inspired me to continue my Spanish education in and out of school. Freddy, Chris and everyone else involved are amazing people and have become my Costa Rican family. Not only have the staff been amazing but so have the host families, both years I have stayed with amazing people who have welcomed me into their homes and have helped me with my Spanish tremendously. Along with classes, tico lingos activities showed me what the differences between being a tourist and a "local" were. I absolutely loved both years I went and am definitely going back as a counselor.
