Immersive Cultural Experiences:

As campers journey through the Riviera Maya, they’ll immerse themselves in the region’s lively traditions and crafts. They’ll create their own Mayan-inspired jewelry, design colorful papel picado (decorative paper banners) for a fiesta, and craft traditional masks used in local celebrations.

Interactive and Educational Activities:

“Fiesta en la Riviera Maya” is filled with engaging activities that bring the region’s culture and beauty to life! Campers might participate in a virtual treasure hunt through the jungles of the Riviera Maya, create their own sandcastles inspired by the beaches of Cancun, or build models of ancient Mayan pyramids using craft materials. They’ll also enjoy storytelling sessions where they can imagine their own adventures in the Riviera Maya and share them in Spanish with their fellow campers.

Discovering the Natural Beauty and Traditions of the Riviera Maya:

In addition to cultural exploration, this camp highlights the stunning natural beauty of the Riviera Maya. Campers will learn about the diverse ecosystems, from the tropical jungles teeming with wildlife to the vibrant coral reefs that are home to colorful fish and sea turtles. They’ll also discover the importance of preserving these natural wonders and discuss the role of ecotourism in protecting the environment and supporting local communities.
