We believe children need exposure to different languages and cultures to gain an appreciation for the world around them

At ISLA Verano, your child will be immersed in an exciting world where he or she will speak the language while learning about the cultures of different Spanish speaking countries through our “Un viaje de Aventuras” theme! Your child will be transported to Spanish speaking countries by combining fantasy, culture, stories and other fun activities.

ISLA Verano will be held for 6 weeks during the summer of 2023, June 26th, 2023 - August 4th, 2023.

ISLA Verano will run Monday-Friday from 9:00AM - 3:30PM. Drop-Off is from 8:30AM-9:00AM and Pick-Up is from 3:30PM-4:00pm.

ISLA Verano is for rising Kindergarten through rising 5th grade students (2023-2024 school year) who want to learn Spanish through culture, in a fun and interactive outdoor environment.

Campers are divided into small groups depending on their age and grade. Groups can have a maximum of 10-12 students depending on their age and grade. 

ISLA Verano is for rising Kindergarten to rising 5th grade students. We will be breaking up students into small groups by grade level and age. Their daily schedule of activities will be at a slower pace or whatever is most appropriate to their stage of development, age and grade level.

Teachers are trained to help campers with conflicts and issues. Even though they are speaking only in Spanish they do understand English. Teachers will inform the program Director, who is able to speak English, to ensure they are feeling heard and understood.
