Spanish Immersion Summer Camp for Elementary Students

H&M Spanish Programs was founded in 2002 by local educators with a shared passion for language and culture. For over 20 years, we have provided engaging Spanish immersion experiences for elementary students in the Vail Valley through interactive, communication-based learning.

Our Spanish Immersion Summer Camp is designed for students entering 1st–5th grade and welcomes learners with a wide range of Spanish experience, including beginners.

Throughout the week, students are surrounded by Spanish in a way that feels natural and fun. We focus on interaction, using games, storytelling, music, movement, art, and real-life communication to help students feel comfortable and confident using the language.

Students come with a range of Spanish experience, from beginners to students in dual language programs who are more fluent. This creates a supportive environment where students learn from each other and feel comfortable participating at their own level.

Each day follows a rhythm that balances structure, creativity, and fun through a mix of whole group and small group experiences.

We begin the day with games, music, movement, and interactive lessons that reinforce vocabulary, pronunciation, and communication skills in Spanish. Campers explore daily themes through hands-on activities and collaborative learning experiences designed to build confidence using the language in meaningful ways.

In the afternoon, students participate in creative experiences such as art, storytelling, movement, and other projects that bring Spanish language and culture to life. We close the day together as a camp community, often with music and group activities.

Throughout the week, students participate in a variety of engaging activities, including:

• Games and movement-based learning
• Storytelling and role-playing
• Music and rhythm activities
• Art and creative projects
• Collaborative experiences such as movie-making

These experiences provide meaningful opportunities for students to use Spanish in authentic and engaging ways.
