Robert,

I don’t have any information, however I would love to learn more about this camp in Oaxaca. Price, where you stayed? Would you recommend it?

Thank you!

Hello,

I just returned from Oaxaca where we had the kids in daily curso de verano for 3 weeks. It was at the Liceo Federico Froebel, which is a very nice private school in the Volcanes district of Oaxaca city. Very recommended.

Next year I would like to send the kids to “real” summer camp in Mexico. Like, they go away for 2 weeks in the mountains with other kids (not merely day camp). Does anyone have information on any programs for Mexican kids (I’m not interested in US-based camps for US kids)? I figure there must be many near Mexico City for kids there, but I’m not finding much on the web.

Hi Becky – I love this! I am just now exploring camps in Mexico next year for my soon to be 6 yr old twins. They have little to no exposure to Spanish right now. I am having a hard time finding schools/camps online. I’ve been searching the San Miguel de Allende area but am open to locations – ideally, a colonial town in Mexico. Do you happen to know of anything? How would you even begin to search? It feels too risky to simply show up looking for something . Also, what is the average weekly cost per child for camp in USD? Thanks! Amy

There are so, so many camps in Mexico City. A lot of them do not have web sites (though some do). I guess googling “curso de verano” + whatever city you will be visiting. This year we are going to Merida, and just crossing our fingers that we will be able to find a camp. When driving around Mexico in the summer, there are tons of signs up advertising different camps or classes (such as soccer camps, art classes, yoga, sports, etc). I know that a lot of the universities (such as the Tec of Monterrey) have bigger programs for kids. I think the Tec has a great computer day camp!

Can you provide information about the camp? We speak Spanish at home and are having the same issue with our daughter responding less and less in Spanish. We are looking to live in Mexico or another Spanish-speaking country next summer. (I’m a teacher so I have summers off.) Thanks!
