Welcome to “Winter Holidays: A Global Adventure,” an exciting Spanish immersion camp where young explorers will embark on a journey around the world to discover how different cultures celebrate the winter season! This thematic unit takes campers on a festive adventure filled with holiday traditions, cultural activities, and plenty of Spanish language fun. From lighting candles to dancing under the stars, “Winter Holidays: A Global Adventure” is all about celebrating the joy, warmth, and diversity of winter holidays around the globe!

Embark on a Global Holiday Journey:

Each day, our young adventurers will “travel” to a new country to explore its unique winter holiday traditions. They’ll visit Mexico to learn about “Las Posadas,” celebrate “Three Kings’ Day” in Spain, experience the festive lights of “Hanukkah” in Argentina, and discover the colorful parades of “Fiesta de San Nicolás” in the Caribbean. Along the way, they’ll learn about the customs, foods, and music that make each holiday special, and see how people around the world come together to celebrate during the winter months.

Immersive Holiday Experiences:

As campers journey through these global holidays, they’ll immerse themselves in hands-on activities that bring each tradition to life. They’ll craft their own “piñatas” for a festive Posada, design paper crowns for “Día de los Reyes,” and create colorful candles inspired by Hanukkah.

Interactive and Educational Activities:

“Winter Holidays: A Global Adventure” is filled with engaging activities that celebrate the diversity of winter traditions! Campers might participate in a holiday parade where they showcase crafts and decorations from different countries, create their own holiday cards in Spanish, or engage in role-playing games where they “host” a winter celebration from another culture. They’ll also enjoy festive games and songs from around the world, all while practicing their Spanish language skills.

Discovering the Spirit of Global Holidays:

In addition to fun and creativity, this camp highlights the universal themes of giving, sharing, and togetherness that are at the heart of winter holidays. Campers will learn about the importance of family and community, explore the different ways people express gratitude and joy, and discuss how winter holidays bring people closer, even across different cultures and traditions. They’ll also participate in activities that encourage kindness and generosity, such as making holiday cards for a local charity or creating small gifts to share with others.

Developing Spanish Language Skills and Cultural Awareness:

Throughout their global holiday adventure, campers will be immersed in the Spanish language. They’ll build their vocabulary with words related to holidays, celebrations, and cultural practices, and practice conversational skills through interactive games, storytelling, and festive activities. This immersive experience not only enhances their Spanish language abilities but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the rich diversity of winter holidays around the world.

Join us for “Winter Holidays: A Global Adventure” and get ready for a week of discovery, creativity, and festive fun! This camp is the perfect opportunity for young adventurers to learn Spanish, explore the beauty and diversity of winter celebrations, and make new friends along the way. Whether they’re crafting holiday decorations, baking traditional treats, or dancing to holiday music from around the world, every day will be an unforgettable journey into the joy and magic of winter holidays!
