CampLango is for kids from 5 to 10 years old and it's an immersion summer camp designed to give children a unique summer experience. They'll get to spend their summertime having fun, acquiring a second or third language, and taking pretend trips to different destinations of Latin America, France, or Asia. At Camp Lango each week is a new destination! Our campers obtain a passport that enables them to take trips to Latin America, France, or China. The best thing is we don't have to fly! Without the hassle of lost luggage, we are able to "visit" these places and learn about their traditions, recreation, and cuisine. Each week ends with a celebration for parents, family, and friends. Extended care in the morning and afternoon is available for FREE. This year's site is Irvine Valley College (IVC) in Irvine. There, we'll have multimedia rooms and ample play areas for our outdoor games and adventure challenges of the afternoon. Don't miss out on the opportunity of having your children spend a fun and full of learning summer experience.

There’s no better way to start off our camp than with a survivor challenge to put ourselves to the test! The island we are going to this week is Cuba, which is a real paradise, however, there are rules for the week that our three tribes need to know. Keeping the island intact is also our duty, so we’ll talk about ways to preserve its beauty. Recycling, caring for animals, and resource preservation are some of the projects our campers will dive into this week. When our campers’ accomplish goals and use the target language with their “Camp Lango Survival Kit” they will get rewards and the chance to win points for their tribe, which can be exchanged for treats at the end of the week. So, sharpen your survival skills and get ready for this amazing experience!
