Yea my school went to Nicaragua last year and i knew people who had a blast. It would be a great experience and it would look good on a college application

You might want to check out this website and try to plan your own trip.

A lot of programs charge you ridiculous amounts of money for minimal planning and placement help but then again if your parents will help foot the bill then you might be better off with something structured since your only 16.
