Calling all Happy Campers! Summer is in full swing at Tierra Encantada!

This July, we’re transforming our learning journey into the ultimate summer camp experience, where every day is packed with activities to develop skills and explore the Spanish language together! Students will be learning about the great outdoors—from insects to water, camping, and picnics, they will experience all our summertime favorites at Tierra Encantada! Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Pre-K kids will dive into nature walks, scavenger hunts, gardening, flower (flores) exploration, and water play. Infants won’t miss out on the fun either! Our littlest ones will get to explore the outdoors, feeling the breeze, observing colors of plants and animals, and listening to the calming sounds of birds (pájaros) on our outdoor stroller walks!

Mariposa (Butterfly)
Oruga (Caterpillar)
Hormiga (Ants)
Insectos (Insects)
Puedo Ver (I can see)

We have a variety of camp-themed activities lined up that will make learning Spanish an adventure for the whole family!

Whether it’s building forts, telling stories, or cooking up campfire treats, every activity can boost your child’s Spanish-speaking skills as well as your own!
