Spanish Summer Camps and Adult Intensive Classes
Tierra Educational Center (TEC) at 2915 NE MLK Blvd (2nd floor of SCRAP’s building) has expanded to offer Spanish Summer Camps for children ages 4-11, in addition to the center’s wide range of adult, children, and family classes for Spanish learners of all ages and levels.
Summer is an excellent time to offer your child Spanish language education when their minds and bodies are alert and open to new ideas and activities. TEC Spanish Summer Camps provide small group, intensive exposure to the Spanish language and Latin American culture…all through the lens of play and music. Treat your child to a summer vacation abroad, without having to leave town!
Camps will be divided in two groups (5-10 students) of 4-6 year olds and 7-11 year olds and held Monday-Friday 9am-12pm July 25-29th and August 15-19th.
And for Mom and Dad, new morning Spanish Intensive courses for Beginner and Intermediate students will be offered July 12-August 11th. Weekly evening classes, private lessons, and family classes are available year-round at a flexible schedule. Visit www.tierracenter.com for more information, or call 503-213-3677.
