Attending a language immersion camp offers a unique and enriching experience, blending language learning with cultural immersion. Students can significantly improve their skills through daily practice, engaging activities, and interactions with native speakers. The camp environment fosters rapid language acquisition, boosts social and emotional learning skills, and enhances communication abilities. Additionally, cultural activities and excursions with students from different backgrounds deepen understanding and appreciation of people from various cultures, making the learning both fun and memorable.  Our experienced teachers and partners work at independent schools in the USA or in schools in Medellín, Colombia. Many draw from their own experiences learning English as an additional language, as immigrants or as children of immigrants in the United States of America. Combined, teachers and consultants have over 70 years working in education and diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice. With a deep commitment to connecting to our common humanity, we offer a relationship-based approach to developing visionary change agents worldwide.
