Join us for a fun and engaging experience as we make a virtual trip to the following Spanish-speaking countries to explore their culture, events, and celebrations through hands-on activities (music, arts and crafts, science, animals, food , and more): Spain and Mexico (June 22), Costa Rica and Colombia (June 30), Perú and Argentina (July 6), and other countries if time allows.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your child comes from a Spanish-speaking country not mentioned above, or even a Non-Spanish Speaking country, please let us know at the time of registration at [email protected], so we can create a PPT presentation to share their culture with their classmates. Our goal is to invite our students’ curiosity, appreciation, and respect, and to create positive local and global connections. The students will start the day with an interactive, comprehensible, and engaging Spanish lesson.  They will be exposed BY playing, to vocabulary and expressions that are useful and focused on communication.

Arts and Crafts: Each student will be given a T-shirt each week which we will tie-dye. We will make papier mache alebrijes from Mexico, clay salamanders using the broken tile technique from Barcelona, 'mini piñatas', and we'll be painting Andean traditional motifs, worry dolls, face painting!
STEM activities:   Did you know that a single potato can power a small light bulb? That’s right, your favorite food is a mini battery.  Campers will be proud to make their own electric circuit and take it home!
Food: Campers will make delicious snacks and beverages typical of the countries of study. We´ll make Horchata de Chufa and Pan Tumaca from Spain,  'Papa a la huancaina' dish from Peru, Guacamole from México and much more. Alfajores from Peru and Argentina will be assembled by sandwiching a layer of dulce de leche between two simple cookies and rolling the edges in shredded coconut.
Music and Instruments: We’ll explore the music and instruments typical of each country. Campers will have an interactive Zoom Salsa, cumbia and Vallenato class with a professional dancer. Campers will make musical instruments with recycled materials, such us castanets from Spain for flamenco.

Learn to write your own music, including the basics on instruments like guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and vocals, then perform and create album artwork for a release on 3 O’Clock Rock Records! Listen to our new releases at: 3oclockrockrecords.bandcamp.com. Daily Class Structure: Each day students will rotate between 3 stations songwriting, musical instruments, and album artwork. They will work toward creating their own song that rhymes, complete with original music, and album artwork for a release on 3oclockrockrecords.bandcamp.com. Each class will build on the previous class so regular attendance is necessary for a great performance of their song on the last day of class for families and friends.

This post-beginner/intermediate level summer camp is for those with a solid grasp of chess fundamentals. Potential campers are expected to already know chessboard terminology and square identification; how the various pieces move and capture, plus their relative values; pawn promotion; the crucial concepts of check, checkmate, and stalemate; the special move of castling; opening goals and principles; basic endgame checkmates using major pieces; and last, but not least, good chess etiquette. Potential campers unfamiliar with more than a couple of these essential topics would be better off enrolling in either the AEF/ACC novice/beginner level summer camp, 'Chess: Learn to Play' or the AEF/ACC combination level summer camp 'Chess: Beginner & Intermediate' instead.

AEF/ACC chess camps are a mix time-wise of instruction and supervised play. Instruction at the post-beginner/intermediate level will focus on learning tactics and strategy through the explanation of games and positions from historical players and events, and/or current/recent top-level competitions. The instructor will organize and run a week-long unofficial tournament, with labeled medals as awards for all participants upon completion.

With its nearly 1,500 years of history, chess is arguably the greatest and most popular board game of all time. Numerous studies have suggested that learning and playing chess at an early age can yield various benefits regarding cognitive skills. Confidence, decision-making, and sportsmanship are other areas of potential improvement. The benefits and enjoyment of chess can last a lifetime!

Writing Interesting Stories: When writers add details to their true stories (non-fiction) they are more interesting. When writers fabricate details, we believe them - and we call it fiction. In this class we will write true and false stories with details, conflict, and lively dialogue that makes it sounds like the characters are really talking. Sometimes we will use pictures or act out stories to make them feel real in our minds before we write them.

This is a wonderful opportunity for campers to develop a love for the game of golf. In this class, campers learn basic techniques of alignment, swing mechanics, golf history, forces of flight as they relate to a golf ball, stretching techniques, and more in a fun, entertaining environment. We will watch demonstrations from top teaching professionals around the world where campers will learn various practice drills. Golf etiquette and the life lessons that golf can teach are paramount in the All Square Golf Academy curriculum. Campers will be outside most of the class, and golf clubs will be provided but students can bring their own if they so choose.

This novice/beginner level summer camp is for those completely new to the game of chess, and for those who may have been introduced at home or elsewhere, but don't have a solid grasp of the fundamentals yet. Topics to be covered include: chessboard terminology and square identification; how the various pieces move and capture, plus their relative values; pawn promotion; the crucial concepts of check, checkmate, and stalemate; the special move of castling; opening goals and principles; basic endgame checkmates using major pieces; and last, but not least, good chess etiquette. Potential campers that know/understand most, if not all of, the topics listed above, should enroll in the AEF/ACC post-beginner/intermediate level summer camp, 'Chess: Beyond the Basics', or the AEF/ACC combination level summer camp 'Chess: Beginner & Intermediate' instead.

AEF/ACC chess camps are a mix time-wise of instruction and supervised play. The instructor will organize and run an unofficial tournament in the latter half of the week at their discretion (if enough campers have progressed sufficiently to play a full game), with labeled medals as awards for all participants upon completion.
