CAMP PURA VIDA is not your typical summer camp experience.
CAMP PURA VIDA offers youth a bilingual summer day camp experience that explores an array of subjects—from eco-sustainability and global peace practices to adventure and cultural activities like surfing, sports, arts, cooking and more! From 9am-3pm daily youth are engaged in fun learning experiences at camp while their parents enjoy free time to explore, work, or simply nap by the pool!
In our Spanish exposure model campers are offered basic language instruction and cultural exposure through play and project-based activities. More proficient or dual-language learners are challenged in more intensive language scenarios throughout the day. Camp participants are made up of a combination of international visitors and local Costa Rican residents, creating amazing cross-cultural opportunities to make new friends abroad.
Each week campers will embark on a unique field trip experience and a beach day for horseback riding and surfing. Past field trips have included a visit to a sustainable family-run farm, a boat tour through the estuary to see monkeys, birds and crocodiles, and a trip to a local festival to watch traditional Costa Rican dances and taste homemade foods! In the afternoons and evenings families enjoy time together or keep the party going at the beach or a dinner meet up with other members of the Family Go Global travel tribe. From grandparents to infants, we welcome intergenerational families of all shapes and sizes to join us for this family-friendly summer travel experience.
CAMP PURA VIDA really is PURA VIDA! Kids get to learn, you get to explore, and ultimately everyone gets to play and make memories of a lifetime.

Reviews
She had the time of her life!
“Watching your children thrive in a foreign country, as early as three years old, will be the only reason you need to return to Pura Vida Peace Camp year after year. Our daughter cried on the last day of camp and on the way to the airport the next day - she literally had the time of her life at camp and for us, that was worth the sacrifice necessary for her to attend camp.”
— Ilene & Jorge L.
Truly a dream come true!
“The bilingual camp for my daughter was truly a dream-come-true. The beautiful campus and vibrant teachers made the eco-centric curriculum a joy. There was a delicious snack and lunch each day and two super fun field trips. I'll never forget seeing my six year old get up on a surf board. Family Go Global's travel guide was super helpful and Rebecca's experience put us at ease.”
— Jonathan and Lisa L.
This experience was fantastic!
“Family Go Global provides you with every single detail to prepare you for your trip. And, once you get there and see the beauty of the country from land to sea, the kindness of the people, the magnificent campus and multiple days ahead of you with a minimum of 6 hours that are kid/stress/work free, your head explodes with the magnificence of it all. I would highly recommend everyone make the trip.
