Learning in the Sunshine: Holding a Summer Language Camp

Heike Feltes, Co-director, Bay Area Kinderstube, and café participants explored how a summer language camp can support retention, boost academic success, and create meaningful language immersion.

The school year is ending, and many students take a three-month break from their heritage language. But what if learning should continue over the summer — in a fun and engaging way?

In this café, Heike Feltes, Co-director, Bay Area Kinderstube, and café participants explored how a summer language camp can support retention, boost academic success, and create meaningful language immersion. We discussed student engagement, age groups that benefit most, and how summer programming can positively impact your school community.

Heike will present at the Coalition conference Friday, October 2 on particular strategies for Holding a Successful Summer Camp.
