Where Spanish Meets STEAM: An Immersive Summer Adventure in LA 

 (Ages 2- 8 years, for children 9 and up we offer our CIT Program)

Where Summer Fun Meets Fluency.

STEAM • Social Impact • 100% Spanish Immersion

​

This isn't your average summer camp, it’s a laboratory for young change-makers. Located in the heart of Los Angeles, our program combines the cutting-edge world of STEAM with the power of Social Justice, all through a 100% Spanish-immersion lens.

​

We believe that learning a language is most effective when it’s used to solve real-world problems and having fun while doing it. Our campers don't just "study" Spanish; they use it to engineer sustainable cities, design social-impact art, and lead their peers in collaborative projects.

Week 2: Los Angeles Creativo​/ Creative LA​​​​

​​

Unlock your child's inner artist in the city that inspires the world! This week, we dive deep into LA’s legendary art scene, from the iconic murals of the Arts District to the rhythmic beats of our local music culture. Los Angeles Creativo isn’t just about making crafts; it’s about giving children  the Spanish tools to express their big ideas, unique opinions, and vibrant emotions.

​

Through collaborative street-art projects, songwriting workshops, and interpretive movement, your camper will build a rich "emotional vocabulary" in Spanish. We make language learning feel like a masterpiece in progress.

​

Week 3: Pequeños Ingenieros/Little Engineers

​

Think it. Build it. Test it. All in Spanish! This week, our campers transform into mini-architects and scientists. Through hands-on STEAM challenges, children will design, build, and improve their own creations—from bridges that hold weight to rockets that touch the sky.

We don't just teach nouns; we teach logic. Your child will learn to explain "why" things work, make predictions, and work as a team to solve "impossible" missions. It’s a week of trial, error, and massive "¡Lo logré!" (I did it!) moments.

​

  • The Vibe: Curious, hands-on, and brilliantly messy.

  • The Goal: Mastering academic Spanish through sequencing (first, then, last) and cause-and-effect reasoning.

  • The Highlight: The "Great Engineering Expo" where teams present their working prototypes.

No camp on Friday July 3rd

Week 4 July 6- 10

Week 4: Sabores Del Mundo/ Flavors of the World

​​

Take a bite out of culture! This week, the kitchen becomes our classroom as we explore the world through its most delicious traditions. From kneading dough to discovering exotic spices, our campers  will use all five senses to master the Spanish language.

​

Food is the ultimate storyteller. Your child will learn the "recipe for success" in Spanish, practicing sequencing (steps in a process), descriptive vocabulary (sweet, sour, spicy), and the cultural history behind every dish. It’s a week of measuring, tasting, and global connection.

​

  • The Vibe: Sensory, delicious, and culturally rich.

  • The Goal: Building "functional fluency" through kitchen chemistry, measurements, and descriptive language.

  • The Highlight: The "Intiwasi Food Festival," where campers "travel" to different countries to taste their own creations.

Week 5: Guardianes Del Planeta/ Guardians of the Planet

​

Become a hero for Mother Earth! This week, our campers step into their roles as environmental stewards. Through inquiry-based projects, children  will explore sustainability, nature conservation, and the importance of protecting our local ecosystems, all while speaking Spanish.

​

We believe that to protect the world, you must first fall in love with it. Your child will ask big questions, propose creative solutions, and learn the vocabulary of science and responsibility through hands-on gardening, recycling challenges, and outdoor exploration.

​

  • The Vibe: Purposeful, natural, and empowering.

  • The Goal: Building "eco-fluency"—learning to advocate for the planet and express environmental solutions in Spanish.

  • The Highlight: A "Sustainable Workshop" where kids create upcycled inventions and plant their own take-home garden.

Think it. Build it. Make it Move! This week, we trade the stage for the laboratory. Our campers will step into the roles of engineers and creators, using the Engineering Design Process to solve real-world problems, all while building their Spanish fluency through technical and action-oriented vocabulary.

​

From dissecting old toys to building functional reachers, your child will learn that "failure" is just the "First Attempt In Learning" (F.A.I.L.). It’s a week of curiosity, gears, and "¡Funciona!" (It works!) moments.

​

  • The Vibe: Inventive, mechanical, and empowering.

  • The Goal: Mastering "Logic Spanish", learning to explain how things work, using sequencing (first, next, finally), and technical verbs like conectar, girar, and armar.

  • The Highlight: The "Grand Expo of Gadgets," where campers present their custom-built robotic arms and "reimagined" wind-up toys.

Week 7: ¡A Toda Velocidad! / Full Speed Ahead!

​

Ready, set, Spanish! This week is all about the science of motion. Our campers will become junior physicists as they race, roll, and experiment with the forces that move our world. From building gravity-powered cars to exploring the friction of different surfaces, we make "hard science" feel like a day at the races.

​

Through high-energy STEAM challenges, children will master the Spanish vocabulary of direction, speed, and force. It’s a week of fast-paced learning where every experiment is a chance to say: "¡Mira qué rápido va!"

​

  • The Vibe: Energetic, fast-paced, and experimental.

  • The Goal: Mastering spatial and directional Spanish (up/down, fast/slow, push/pull) through kinetic learning.

  • The Highlight: The "Intiwasi Grand Prix"—a custom-built ramp race where speed meets strategy.

Week 9: Eco-Exploradores / Planet Protectors

​

Inspired by Nature. Built for the Future. This week, we bridge the gap between high-level engineering and environmental stewardship. Using the image of the butterfly as our guide, campers will explore Biomimicry, learning how nature’s smartest designs can help us save our planet. From studying the flight of insects to building solar-powered solutions, our "Eco-Exploradores" will master the Spanish needed to advocate for Mother Earth. This is our final "Earth-bound" mission before we blast off into Space in Week 10!​

​

  • The Vibe: Green, heroic, and deeply connected.

  • The Goal: Building "Conservation Spanish"—learning to move from explaining how things work to why we must protect them.

"The Final Frontier: A Journey Beyond the Stars"

Kick off your summer finale by leaving Earth behind! In our final week, the Intiwasi School transforms into a Galactic Command Center. As "Astronauts in Training," campers will use their STEAM skills to conquer the challenges of the cosmos.

​

From the physics of rocket propulsion to the mystery of Martian gravity, we aren’t just learning about space, we are engineering our way through it. Your explorer will build specialized rovers, design life-sustaining habitats, and master the Spanish vocabulary of discovery, curiosity, and high-tech exploration.
