About La Semana
La Semana is a week long culture camp for children adopted from Latin America and their
families. It includes a variety of age-appropriate activities designed to promote self-esteem
and foster an understanding of Latin American culture and history.
The children learn
Latin crafts and dances, try Latin foods, hear Latin music and are exposed to written
and spoken Spanish.
There is also plenty of time for campers to have fun and make
friends. It quickly becomes a summer tradition for many families.
La Semana (Spanish for "The Week") is open to children from elementary through
high school and draws families from across the United States and Canada. 448 campers attended in 2007. Be sure to register early because many classes fill up.
La Semana 2008 will be held from Monday July 28th through Friday August 1st from
9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The camp culminates with a Fiesta an Friday evening where
all the campers dress in traditional costumes and perform dances learned during
the week.
Each year a different country of influence is studied. This year it is the
"African Influence in Latin America".
