Fun camp but if you want to really learn Spanish you'll need to put yourself in places that force you to use the language.

I believe that Tico Lingo is a great experience for people that want to learn Spanish and already have a foundation in Spanish. When you get here you will be nervous but as you get used to the homestay and your fellow campers it will start to feel far more natural. Most of your days will be very structured like the animal rescue center, but you will get chances for free time throughout the trip where you can explore the city. How much you go out of the way to speak it with most tour guides able to speak English if you don’t try you won’t speak a lot of Spanish. The only advice I can give you is that you won’t get along with every other camper 100% but be at least nice to them and also don’t flush the toilet paper.
