Los Explorers Camps are a passport to discovering Latine/x Cultures
2025 Enrollment Coming Soon!
Los Explorers is an exciting half-day dance camp, including creative dance, cultural dance, music study, and arts & crafts. This summer, Campers will be immersed in the cultures of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Peru, and Mexico. Sign up to discover a new place, visit a familiar one, or take a trip around the world.
Los Explorers camps run from June 24th to August 2nd, 2024. You can register your child for one or up to five weeks. More weeks simply means lower weekly tuition. Each 1-week camp is themed around a country and explores the history, dances, songs, artwork, and landscapes. The perfect adventure camp for both boys and girls—join us for this multi-sensory journey of the rhythms, stories, and wonders of these featured countries.
