Spanish Camp – The Happiest Place in Charlotte

This was not a planned post for this week, but after almost a whole week have having the happiest kid on Earth (or at least in Charlotte), how could I not?

Graham, my eldest, has been super-excited to go to summer camp this week.  He’s attending a Spanish camp that is being run by one of my dear friends, Eugenia Trenklebach and a colleague of hers.  From 9am to noon everyday this week, I’ve turned him over to the camp directors; he’s been crafting, cooking, playing, making friends and running around outside.

Every afternoon after my husband has picked him up, he comes galloping into the house and shouts, “Ola Mommy!”  After his first day, he was sent home with a folder of songs and vocabulary words that they have been working on during class.  Before dinner each night, we’ve been going through the list.  Admittedly, I’m probably messing up all of the pronunciations (I took German in school), but I figure at this rate, he can be teaching and correcting me soon!

I’ve enjoyed having a few hours of peace to play with my baby each morning this week.  I’ve gotten some extra work done, and Eugenia has made it super simple to drop-off and pick-up the kids; I didn’t even have to leave my car!

If you are local to the Charlotte area, be sure to take advantage of the few weeks of camp that still have openings!  The remaining available weeks include:  Beginning Monday June 11th, July 16th, August 6th and August 13th.

The price of the summer camp is $125 per week per child from 9 to 12 am. There is also an available option to extend the pick up time to 1pm.  If you are interested in booking your slot, contact Eugenia Trenklebach at: rocatrenk@gmail.com for more details!
Oh, and here’s a little video from the camp.  Never mind, that my kid is about 30 seconds behind the rest of ’em.  (He’s the one in the green and white striped shirt.)

**Graham received a complimentary week of camp in exchange for my promotions and reviews, but as always, all opinions in this post are 100% my own.  I mean, how could you NOT love your kid having a great time at summer camp?**
