Costa Rica Surf Camp

If you’re like me, you like to travel to South America and you like to surf. Also, if you’re like me, you’re a terrible surfer and need a Costa Rica surf camp, like the one at La Escuela del Sol. This Costa Rica surf camp is located in Montezuma, Costa Rica and offers a lot of the usual things you’d expect. Surfing (duh), sitting on the beach (my fave), and also yoga. The yoga part is a nice way for you to relax and distress from after the embarrassment of face planting in the shallows all day. Lucky for you, at La Escuela del Sol you classes including surfing, yoga, fire dancing, and Spanish so learn how to say “Yes, I did ride some gnarly waves at a Costa Rican surf camp brah!”

Students at this Costa Rica surf camp can take any one or two courses per week with programs going anywhere from 1to 4 weeks. Everyone goes on a waterfall hike and a turtle egg laying tour (in season). Two, three and four week students are also offered a zip line canopy tour or a horseback riding tour. College credit is available. Seriously, college credit for going to a Costa Rica Surf Camp! Why didn't I have this in college?

Visitors stay at the small, family-owned hotel, La Cascada, built into the jungle, next to an awesome waterfall and across road from the ocean. The open air yoga studio and restaurant are gorgeous and sitting in a hammock on the beautiful beaches is a nice way to unwind after a day of surf. And you can get some real feeling for the country by exploring Montezuma, which has a lot of personality for a small town. So what are you waiting for? The Costa Rica surf camp is not going to come to you!
