Thanks so much! I’ll look into both areas. If you can provide me with specific names/locations of the camps I’d really appreciate it 🙂

In reply to Christina Tovar. Have you heard of Merida, Mexico? I know of some amazing camps there! Also San Miguel de Allende, Mexico!!!

I am so thrilled to have found your site! My husband (who is Colombian-American and fluent in Spanish) and I (some Spanish-langauge proficiency but certainly not fluent) are interested in traveling to Latin America in Summer 2020 with the goal of enroling our two daughters (ages 9 and 7) in daytime Summer camps where they will be immersed in Spanish and the local culture. We are open to locations, preferably somewhere in Mexico, as we live in Southern California and prefer a shorter flight/travel time (the girls and I can be away for several weeks but my husband will only be able to get away to join us far a week at a time as he’ll need to go back and forth for work). Any suggestions would be wonderful!

In reply to Susan Wynn. Are you in Merida!? We are moving there for the year!!! It is one of my absolute favorite cities in Mexico! So colonial, rich in culture, the food is phenomenal- what an opportunity for your niece!!!!!! I would be happy to email with her. It really would be a life-changing experience for her I am sure!

In reply to kidworldcitizen. Hi, I know I am years late but I just read this article. I am trying to convince my cousin in Atlanta to send her 11 year-old to spend some time with me here in Merida for the summer. I would appreciate any information you could share with me to assure her. All the best to you and your family.

In reply to Melissa. We were WAY in the north and went to Berimbau. But honestly there are SO MANY around Mexico City!! They don't really start advertising them until June, and school gets out in July. I am sure you will find one closer!!

Hi,
What summer camp did you kids attend? I have the same situation with a Mexican hubby and would love to have my kids go to DF this summer. I would ideally like to find something in the area of Pedregal de San Francisc. Thanks in advance!

In reply to Michael.

I have only been to Oaxaca on vacation, so I’m not familiar with any names of camps- but if you google “curso de verano oaxaca” or look contact any schools or museums, I’m sure there are plenty around! 🙂 I just looked and found lots (tallers= workshops). You are going to have so much fun!!! 🙂

In reply to kidworldcitizen. Hello Kidworld citizen, I'm looking at this thread in 2016 and hope it's still active. My 7-year-old and I would love any information on Spanish-langauge summer camps for the month of August in, hopefully, Oaxaca. Can you help us, or suggest where to go? Thanks so much!

Hello, could you tell me or guide me toward some good summer camps for kids 10 years old?

In reply to Carolina K. It is hard to find until you are there- but when you drive around it seems there are hundreds! I wonder if you know anyone in the area who would have heard of a camp? Mexican schools get out not until mid-July, so you could go late June and start looking- we always see huge banners announcing the cursos de verano.

Becky, you are an inspiration ! I am from Mexico but in the US for more than 20 yrs. I have a 10 yr old boy whom I would like to send to summer day camp while staying with his abuelos in Mexico city. My family lives in the south (Pedregal area). Do you know of camps or have ideas on how to find them ? you are right, they do not have websites ! Thank you! – Carolina (carolibu@aol.com)

In reply to dguller. Mexico City has a TON of options- they are called "cursos de verano." It depends on where you live, but there are literally thousands of options, with different themes (soccer, arts, dance, sports, etc). Which area are you familiar with?
