Campalooza

Travel to a new culture this summer without even leaving Dayton. Studies have shown that children who learn a second language at a younger age enhance their creativity, critical thinking skills, and mental flexibility. This session will immerse campers into the Spanish language and culture through fun, interactive play such as music, visuals, and games.
