Children's Summer Language Camps

CHICLE has held summer camps for children for many years.

Our camps meet from 9-12 or 1:30-4:30 at CHICLE and each camp session is one week. We vary these camps so that children may attend more than one session. You may fill out and email us a registration form or call 933-0398 or contact us for more information. Each session costs $165 and payment is due with your registration.

• games that we have developed,
• music,
• arts and crafts, and
• treasure hunts,

the children learn the language. Depending on the session your child may be making a mask, a piñata, or a piggy bank among many other crafts. Camps are conducted in the language being taught, English spoken only when necessary. Our teachers can work with groups that have children who are beginners and who are bilingual. The children really enjoy themselves, laugh and sing most of the morning (as we who work in the adjoining office can attest to).

Here are some comments from 2011 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."
