Our 2013 camps will meet from June 10 - August 9. We offer half day from 9-12 or 1:00-4:00 - and we provide full day possibilities - at CHICLE and each camp session is one week long. We vary these camps so that children may attend more than one session. For optimum language learning we limit camp sessions to ten participants. Full day campers may bring their lunch or purchase at WSM where they will be eating with teacher and assistant on the picnic tables followed by an hour of playing outdoors. You may fill out and email us a registration form or call 933-0398 or contact us for more information. Each half-day session costs $175, full-day is $350, the lunch hour is an additional $25 a week, and payment is due with your registration.
Camps are an enjoyable way for your children to learn and practice a language. Students learn the language through
- games that we have developed,
- rhymes and music
- arts and crafts, and
- treasure hunts.

Here are some comments from 2012 summer camp parents.
"David liked the 'awesome' mix of activities: crafting, games, Weaver St. field trip. Mommy liked the small class size and that parents received a letter describing the week's activities on Monday. We will be back and will recommend to friends. Worth the drive from Durham!"
"Sonya did wot want to attend this camp at first—but really enjoyed it. I thought the teachers were excellent—very upbeat and good with kids."
"My daughter really enjoyed herself! She said she liked the arts and crafts and the Locopops! And also the games! : ) Thx for everything!"
"My daughter really liked camp, especially the matching game, the animal game, and making the shirt. Her Spanish definitely got a good boost from a full week of camp."
