About Our Summer Camps
WHAT WILL CAMPERS LEARN?
Our curriculum has been developed by our expert instructors. We want students to not only learn the language, but love it and the many cultures of the people who speak it. Cultural activities and art are a huge part of our program.
Throughout the camp, basic learners will be immersed in the culture, while learning vocabulary like numbers, greetings, calendar, and other key conversation skills in Spanish! Intermediate and Heritage learners will expand their knowledge of speaking, spelling, reading while continuing to develop their conversational skills.
Each camp will incorporate activities that focus on vocabulary and conversation acquisition through games, music, dance, literature, writing, and more.
