Every program, from the youngest campers to our Junior Counselors and adult learners, engage in PLAY-BASED learning to develop their second language abilities.

Founded by two moms in 2014 to create a safe, loving and creative environment for their children to thrive in a multilingual world, Vamonos NOLA is committed to each and every camper finding their voice (in Spanish) in the most empowering and FUN way possible. This is accomplished through a conscious parenting and dual language methodology, where no child ever feels left out, but is encouraged and celebrated for their language abilities.
 
Whether learning Spanish as a second language or connecting to your Latino roots, Vamonos NOLA creates a rich and diverse community where all people are valued and respected.

 

OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE:

MOMMY/DADDY & ME (Ages 0–2 years old):

MAMÁ DAY OUT:

In this program, campers ages 18 months-4 years old will have the opportunity to learn Spanish while engaging in age-appropriate activities including centers, art, music and games. Camp is held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 am-12 pm. There is an optional lunch-bunch from 12-1 pm. Healthy Snacks are provided. Take advantage of a few hours of self-care, knowing your growing person is in loving hands, having fun and learning Spanish!

PEQUEÑOS PLAYTIME (Ages 2–5 years old):

 Designed for our early childhood campers to explore language through their senses! Campers get moving with Music and Dance, tap into their creativity with Arts and Crafts, and engage through both stimulating and soothing Sensory Play. Tuesdays and Thursdays 9 am-12 pm. Yet another opportunity for Spanish socialization for your little one, and “me time” for you!

JR. COUNSELOR PROGRAM: (11 years +)
Learning a second language may be invaluable, but it is not always easy. With role models willing to learn alongside campers, everyone wins. Campers are inspired to take risks speaking and Jr. Counselors discover their innate leadership. Jr. Counselors must apply, request, and interview themselves as part of their training. Empowering and fun, Jr. Counselors have a great time learning and making a difference.
