Thematic Unit for our Language Immersion Camps and Classes
Winter Wonderland
Welcome to “Winter Wonderland,” a magical Spanish immersion camp where young adventurers will experience the enchantment of the winter season! Designed for young children, this thematic unit takes campers on a journey through a snowy world filled with frosty fun, winter crafts, and holiday traditions from around the globe. From building imaginary snowmen to learning about winter celebrations in Spanish-speaking countries, “Winter Wonderland” is packed with joy, creativity, and plenty of Spanish language learning!
Explore the Magic of Winter:
Each day, our young explorers will embark on a new adventure through a winter wonderland. They’ll imagine themselves in a snowy forest, surrounded by glistening icicles and snow-covered trees, as they discover the wonders of winter. Campers will learn about the winter season, including how animals adapt to the cold, the beauty of snowflakes, and the cozy traditions that make winter special. Along the way, they’ll also explore how winter is celebrated in different Spanish-speaking countries, from the warm holiday lights of “Navidad” in Spain to the lively “Fiesta de la Candelaria” in Peru.
Immersive Winter Experiences:
As campers dive into the winter spirit, they’ll immerse themselves in a variety of festive activities. They’ll craft their own snowflakes and winter decorations, design warm and colorful mittens, and create snow globes filled with scenes from their imaginations.
Interactive and Educational Activities:
“Winter Wonderland” is filled with engaging activities that bring the magic of winter to life! Campers might participate in a snowman-building contest using craft materials, create their own winter-themed stories and share them in Spanish, or embark on a winter scavenger hunt to “find” hidden treasures like snowflakes, mittens, and holiday ornaments. They’ll also enjoy winter-themed games and songs that celebrate the joy and beauty of the season.
Discovering Global Winter Traditions:
In addition to fun and crafts, this camp highlights the diverse ways winter is celebrated around the world. Campers will learn about different winter festivals and traditions, from the lighting of “las velitas” in Colombia to the colorful “Carnaval de Invierno” in Chile. They’ll explore the importance of family, community, and warmth during the winter months and discuss how people around the world come together to celebrate this special time of year.
Developing Spanish Language Skills and Winter Joy:
Throughout their winter adventure, campers will be immersed in the Spanish language. They’ll build their vocabulary with words related to winter, holidays, and seasonal activities, and practice conversational skills through interactive games, role-playing, and storytelling. This immersive experience not only enhances their Spanish language abilities but also fills them with the joy and wonder of the winter season.
Join us for “Winter Wonderland” and get ready for a week of discovery, creativity, and fun! This camp is the perfect opportunity for young adventurers to learn Spanish, explore the magic of winter, and make new friends along the way. Whether they’re crafting snowy scenes, baking holiday treats, or imagining a wintery world of their own, every day will be an unforgettable journey into the heart of the winter season!
