Well-organized!

My advice is to make lots of friends and try to speak Spanish as much as you can. The greatest benefits of this program were having fun with new friends, learning about Mexico and seeing how people live. I would recommend this program to future students.

New culture and friends

I enjoyed gaining exposure to a new culture and meeting new friends! Our Arcos director was efficient, supportive, fun, relatable, and a problem solver. I would 100% recommend the Hike and Surf program to high school students. My advice is to just have fun!

Can't wait to go back!

Many benefits; exposure to culture, social confidence, much greater interest in Spanish language and Mexican culture. Can't wait to go back! Some places your child will go there will not be any people who speak English. Basic Spanish skills will lead to a better experience, especially if they want to move about independently.. Pamela, the program director, was amazing, Dylan can't stop talking about how great she was and how her connections are what made the trip so incredible for him.
