Intiwasi Summer Camp 2026 | June 15 – August 26
Ages 2- 8 years, for children 9 and up we offer our CIT Program

At Intiwasi, our Spanish Immersion Summer Camp is designed for children with some exposure to Spanish—including students from immersion programs, heritage learners, and motivated beginners ready to explore the language in a natural, joyful way.

Through hands-on projects, outdoor play, cultural exploration, and inquiry-based learning, children build confidence speaking Spanish, not through worksheets, but through real conversations and meaningful experiences. Our small groups and nurturing environment allow each child to participate at their own pace while being gently encouraged to use Spanish throughout the day.

✔ language learning that feels natural

✔ and a program that balances structure with play

​

Whether your child is continuing their Spanish immersion journey or beginning to explore the language, our summer camp provides a supportive space to grow, connect, and thrive.
