Costa Rica Surf & Beach Lifestyle, for Active Kids

Living in Costa Rica by the beach is a dream come true for kids. There are endless sports, activities, and adventures to be had. At one local international school for elementary aged kids, they go surfing every Friday as part of their physical fitness program. It's adorable to see them all in a row heading to the beach with their surf boards and boogie boards. On other days the beautiful tree-lined soccer field is full of children doing drills or playing a game of soccer. They also rotate with sports such as basketball, tennis, kick ball, baseball, and flag football.

On the weekends most kids are either at the beach swimming, playing in the sand, snorkeling, tidepooling, taking nature walks, or hiking. Some take horseback riding lessons, music classes, or practice yoga. Costa Rica has an enormous variety of trees, many perfect for climbing. Santa Teresa and Mal Pais have a few surf camps and many surf instructors. In most families here either one or both parents surf. Many times competing for waves or who will stay at home to watch the kids! Surfing has become a family activity where beginners to advanced surfers can have fun and get in the water together. Toddlers can get on a soft top board and catch the white water waves with Dad. As their skills advance, the kids move to different sized boards and go out further to catch their own waves.

The kids growing up in such a natural nature based environment will become amazing bilingual adults with an immense awareness of international cultures. They will be environmentalists and leaders, athletes and multi-cultural. Sure to make their parents proud!
