Spanish Camp
The goal is to provide students with meaningful Spanish language experiences in a fun-filled Spanish setting. Students with no previous exposure to Spanish, as well as students who want to improve their Spanish skills, are welcome to attend. Students will be immersed in Spanish culture by learning the language through singing, dancing, exercising, cooking Spanish recipes, and watching Spanish movies. This will be a great opportunity to engage the student in fun activities to give them more confidence in learning Spanish.
Two one-week sessions will be offered during the weeks of May 31 - Jun 3, 2022 and June 6 -10, 2022 from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Students may attend both weeks or one week.
