After two successful Summer Camps and the great feedback from parents and students who attended the camps, I decided to share my thoughts on the subject.<\/p>\n
When we had contemplated offer the summer camps, I searched for existing literature on this subject, to get some ideas from colleagues on how to bring my indoor classes to the outdoor setting, after a few weeks of online and bookstore search, I was not able to find any books or articles which would help me plan the activities.<\/p>\n
I worked with my assistant to find camp activities which could be used with the topics we had originally proposed to the clients and give it a new twist to make the experience educational, interactive and fun at the same time.<\/p>\n
The result amazed me because children were running, fishing, looking for bugs, treasure hunting, playing tug of war, soccer, making sand castles and more…….. in Spanish!!!!<\/p>\n
I heard from a grandparent: “I had to drag my grandaughter here, because she said she hated Spanish, but I’m glad I did, because now she said she really enjoys it and it gave her a different perspective on learning a foreign language” – that was said by Allie’s Grandmother.<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed working the summer camps so much that I decided to make the materials, ideas and plans available to teachers who wish to have access to them.<\/p>\n
Please contact me if you wish to receive files with activities and suggestions for materials used.<\/p>\n
When planing new activities for our fall classes, I will definitely try to incorporate some of the great ideas used at the camps and maybe trade the sand for some leaves and marshmallows!<\/p>\n
Saludos,<\/p>\n
