The 2025 Diagora Camps will run from June 9-27, Monday through Friday from 9am to 2:30pm. Our language camp offers students a solid foundation in Spanish, whether they have already taken on (and only one) Spanish course or plan to take Spanish at school in the future. By participating in our program, students will be better prepared to excel in their academic pursuits.
Dive into an exciting camp experience that goes beyond language learning! Engage in fun cultural activities and practice your language skills in an immersive environment. Discover new cultures, make friends, and create lasting memories while developing your language proficiency. With a focus on speaking, you'll boost your communication skills and build meaningful connections with fellow campers.
The camp equips learners with essential language skills, enabling them to communicate effectively and confidently while also fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity. Ultimately, our camp helps students stay on par with their heritage and native-speaking peers, setting them up for long-term success in their language learning journey.
The in-person camps are held at the San Diego State University campus, with a tuition fee of $1190 per student. This fee includes expenses for teacher salaries, educational materials, teaching resources, cultural events, and guest presenters.
