Summer Activities

Spanish Camp

Bilingual Learning Center (BLC) is a Spanish-English program located at Windom Dual Immersion School in Minneapolis. During the school year we offer after school care and classes, but in the summer we have 5 weeks of fun and educational day camps. Students have the chance to hear and practice Spanish while engaging in a variety of activities inside and outside, with a field trip every Friday. BLC celebrates Latino culture and encourages learning through Spanish reading, cultural dance, sports, art, and more! Suitable for beginners as well as those who may already know some Spanish. Our staff are bilingual and bicultural, and we promote an inclusive and nurturing environment. Contact: BLC Bilingual Learning Center Office – 612-668-3384 Fax- 612-668-3380 info@blcenter.org
