What 18 Summers Family Retreat participants say about the experience
What will you experience during The 18 Summers Retreat?
Nosara, Costa Rica is one of our favorite places on Earth, nestled in the Guanacaste Coast on the Nicoya Peninsula, which is one of five blue zones in the world where people live the longest and most healthy over the age of 100.
It is a diverse area of jungle and mountains and beach. One of the most pristine areas, with a mixture of great restaurants, coffee shops, yoga centers, massage and alternative treatment therapies.
Nosara truly is an experience for all people. The large bay offers advanced surfing out the back and great whitewater rides for beginner surfers, and for swimming and enjoying the ocean.

Service and Contribution Day – Mercy Homes
Acquire the values that will stay with you for a lifetime!
Interviewing 1000s of entrepreneurs, one concern rose to the top, above almost all others, and that concern was “I want my children to appreciate what they have.”
Active service and contribution is the best avenue we have found with our family and many others to make this a reality.
18 Summers supports an amazing charity, Mercy Homes. During your retreat, we spend an afternoon helping a local Costa Rican family build their home, deliver groceries and participate in a dedication ceremony.
Together we give back to the community and help a family get closer to living their dream and having the chance to change the trajectory of their lives.
Your investment in our program will pay for a local family to own something they never thought possible… own their own home. And you will be there to build it and present it to them.
“Jim and Jamie Sheils are helping to build structure in families, and – if you’re having a setback in your family – they can definitely help you.”
— Tim Storey, Acclaimed Author, Speaker & Life Coach
