Weekly Themes

Every week we will offer a variety of activities to cater to all campers’ interests including: sports, dance instruction, guest speakers, cooking club, water games, buddies’ program, art, science, gardening and many more!  Fridays will be for fiesta, showcasing what campers have learned each week and celebrating the Latino culture as we know it best, with some music and yummy treats!

Week 1

Merengue and Tostones

Welcome to a week filled with Puerto Rican, Dominican and Cuban flair. Discover the sounds of bachata and merengue, how to pitch in baseball, cook a traditional Caribbean dish with a professional chef, and much more.

Week 3

Tango and Empanadas

Welcome to a week of tango as we venture to countries like Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Campers will learn about yerba mate and “bondi.”  Campers will welcome a guest speaker, cook a traditional South American dish and, of course, play a lot of soccer.

Week 2

Salsa and Arepas

Welcome to a week of Encanto as we dive into the world of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. Don’t worry, we won’t serve the campers coffee, though that is the traditional drink of the region. Campers won’t need it anyway, as they will be energized as they get carried away by the rhythms of Cumbia and the beauty of this colorful region.

Week 4

Punta  and Tamales

Welcome to a week filled with Mexican treats, art, and music, while campers get immersed in the sounds of Mariachi and delicious Indigenous-infused foods. Campers will experience the Central American Indigenous and West African influences through, food, traditions, rhythms of Punta and the cultures of Belize, Costa Rica, and Panamá.
