The main purpose of having your kids in our program is to give them the opportunity to learn a new language through our multi-cultural program. They will not only learn a new language but also be part of cooking lessons, art lessons and learn traditional games and songs all in the target language! Yes all in another language! Don’t worry! They will feel so comfortable and eager to participate that they will not even notice how much they are understanding and how many new words and phrases they are going to be learning. One big combo in one powerful Language Camp!
Celebrating Diversity! Crossing Borders commonly enrolls students from all over the world as well as many born and raised here in the United States. This sea of diversity provides a perfect backdrop for children to learn, explore, and appreciate various cultures of the world and richness they impart all while learning a new language! Imagine the look in your child's eyes when they introduce you to their new friends!
More about our Passport to English Camp:
I encourage you to save your child(ren)'s place ASAP as we know by experience (previous year) that our program is extremely successful. Last year, we had kids from Russia, China, Venezuela, Mexico, Romania, Holland, Germany, Colombia, Spain, Brazil, Argentina just to name a few of the countries that took part of this amazing experience in Crossing Borders' location. We had kids as young as 4 year old to teens. We had students learning from the basic, colors, numbers, shapes and basic communication that had never had had English class in their lifes to very advanced students that have the privilege of being in a bilingual school in their country and coming to Crossing Borders for that extra immersion and mainly to improve their communication skill in an American environment.
Last year we had kids signed up for 2 weeks and came directly from their country to be part of this amazing camp staying with relatives or friends. We also had kids that stayed in hotels with their relatives for an entire month. Other kids signed up for as many (2 months) of ESL Camp with the purpose of taking advantage of every single moment to learn from scratch or improve their level of English as they only had the summer to get ready to start the school year in a total English environment. As you see there are many ways that you can schedule bringing that child in your life to experience the United States of America.
