Every week we have loads of Bilingual enrichment activities aimed to make learning fun and engaging. Your child will practice their Spanish by listening and playing in an immersion environment, exploring cultures, foods, music, dance, theater and so much more! We welcome all Spanish levels, beginners to native speakers.
Follow us on social media to see our program in action, or visit us on February 5th from 5:30 – 6:30pm for our open house!
Your child will practice Spanish by listening to instructions, games, music and natural communication throughout the day. This program is for all Spanish levels to come together and learn from one another! We use both English and Spanish during the day so everyone gets value from the program.
Learning will continue in the summer through bilingual storytelling, reading, STEM, and Friday field trips. Open your child to new worldviews and experiences with cultural exploration at BLC!
Your child will stay engaged, active and happy with a daily routine of building friendships and community through dance, games, teambuilding, outings to playgrounds and weekly trips to Pearl Park Pool. Supporting your child’s emotional well being and development is important to us, through yoga, art, cooking and creativity your child will build confidence to freely express their unique personality and gifts!
The camp is 50/50 Spanish and English. There is a mix of fully Spanish speaking camp counselors and English speaking counselors. Campers are directed in Spanish, and English is used to ensure those new to the language understand. Those with immersion experience are talked to throughout the day in Spanish, and those newer to the language learn through repetition during games and our routine.
Yes! We welcome all speaking levels. There will be English speaking camp counselors who help guide all students to ensure everyone feels comfortable.
We have a Pre K group, the only requirement is that they can go to the bathroom by themselves. We are unable to change diapers or assist kids in the restroom.
Although Nokomis Heights Lutheran church kindly hosts our summer camp, we are not affiliated with any religion. There is Christian art around the space, but they are never part of our conversations or activities throughout the day.
There are no minimum requirements of how many weeks you register for. Registration is by week, you can register for one week or all six weeks we offer. We are unable to accommodate only certain days.
Changing is done before our outings, one child in each stall at a time. Come prepared with swim gear every day, wearing it under their clothes is a plus! Water play is every day if weather permits, with water balloons, slip n slides and games. Every Wednesday we walk to Pearl Park Pool, and there will be field trips to St Louis Water Park at the rec center. On our outings we all wear bright orange BLC T-shirts so our group is easily identifiable.
During June and July, BLC offers several weeks of all-day camps at Nokomis Heights on Mondays through Fridays. Camp activities include art and crafts, physical activities, reading time, Lego building, outdoor activities and more. Each Friday the students go on a field trip: past field trips have included water park visits, Como Zoo, and nature programs. Students can register for as many weeks as they are interested in.
