Program Overview

The Spanish Language Camp takes place on the beautiful Manhattan University campus in New York City. Campers can access Manhattan University’s vast resources, including our classrooms, computer labs, and library.

Campers are placed by age, not target language proficiency. We will not test campers’ language proficiencies before the camp. Classes will be taught at an elementary to low-intermediate level appropriate for the age group. Each two-week session will focus on different topics, so campers who stay for multiple sessions will learn in various areas.

  • Languages, Group Structure, and Registration Link

    Spanish is extremely valuable for children to learn, as it is a world language. Our language program will utilize interactive, communicative, and fun pedagogy to increase their Spanish skills, emphasizing speaking fluency and vocabulary acquisition.
