ALL ABOUT SPANISH:

Our 6-week Summer Camp is an amazing way to immerse your children (ages 18 months to 12 years old) in the Spanish language and culture. Our campers learn about and engage with the language through FUN lessons related to summertime music, movement lessons, cooking, science, social studies, visual arts, games and more. They also discover exciting facts about Latin American countries, use their imagination to make customs and art projects; and get captivated by the different flavors of food that they get to cook. Our experienced and dynamic teachers are NY certified and native-speakers.Ā 

During our 6-week program, the following themes are covered: Summertime Fun, Let's Travel to Latin America and Kids in the Kitchen. Student to teacher ratio is 5:1 and classes are limited to 10 students per class. Students receive an All About Spanish Camp T-shirt, Folder and CD with all the songs that they will learn during the summer session.Ā 6 weeks at All About Spanish Camp with our amazing teachers will boost your child's Spanish language skills while having a ton of FUN.

CAMP ICONIC:



From the moment the campers arrive each morning, to when they head home at the end of another exciting day, one thing is abundantly clear; forget ordinary and expect ICONIC! With decades of experience in the childcare and camping industries, our Directors and Staff work hard to ensure our campers have the most iconic summer of their lives.Ā At the core of our philosophy is the individuality of each camper. Our well-rounded daily program combines a structured activity schedule that encourages age-group unity and the experience of trying new things with an elective schedule that allows campers time for individual opportunities and personal skill development. This is supported by a pro-active, experienced, mature, fun and properly trained staff dedicated to making the needs of our campers their number one priority. Each summer, parents will be comforted to know that although they are not at camp, they are an integral part of their childā€™s experience. We are committed to open and honest communication as needed to ensure our families that we know your child and are doing everything to achieve each childā€™s happiness.
