My daughter gained and passion for learning Spanish and every day comes home knowing more.

Our girls absolutely love the content of what they learn and speak so fondly of the environment as well - the teachers, the friends they make, and the activities they participate in. I'm so happy with how safe they made our family feel throughout the summer as well.

My girls had a blast and came home speaking more Spanish every day. I love that they learned science- they never would have learned those concepts in Spanish anywhere else. And all the outside time was great for them.

My 2 sons (ages 5 and 8) did the Mariposa 2 week summer camp for the first time this year. They had both been exposed to Spanish but had no formal training (like couldn't say anything except "hola" and "muy bien"). They both had a lot of anxiety about going; they were worried it would be boring and school-like. I had the same fear, but I was OK with that if it helped them learn Spanish. Happily, the camp turned out to be totally fun and the boys loved it. AND, every day when I picked them up they were chatting happily with me using their new Spanish words and singing their new songs. I was blown away by how much Spanish was packed into those 2 weeks. The boys learned SO much, and they were not stressed about it at all. They enjoyed all the activities and didn't realize how much they were absorbing. I wish this camp went all summer! It was totally worth it and I can't wait for our next session with Mariposas!
