Los Hispanohablantes (the Spanish unit) ¡Ayúdame! (Help me!)  Learn to ask for help and express your needs in Spanish as you “visit” countries of the Spanish speaking world.  While there, you can “shop” for bargains in the local markets, see the spectacular sites and sample the tempting local foods. You will experience Hispanic language and culture through role plays, games, chants, songs and ethnic dances.  Finally, you will finish your week by competing in the exciting and wildly popular World Cup Soccer tournament.  ¡Ven conmigo!  Come with me!

Les Jeunes Francophones (the French unit) Why learn French? French is spoken by billions of people spread over all the continents. At UWMC's French immersion camp you can learn French in French! Being immersed in the language is the key to learning it. At the camp you will learn "ready to use" vocabulary and phrases that you will be able to use tout de suite! Through crafts, games, and songs you can have fun learning French. Go on a scavenger hunt, play in le Coup du Monde, eat Nutella! Don't miss this unique immersion opportunity!

Zhongguo Cun (the Chinese unit) Take a “trip” to China to explore Chinese language and culture through games, songs, crafts and food. Zhongguo Cun Huanying Nin!

Deutsche Schuler (the German unit) Wir singen, wir tanzen, wir spielen!  Have fun learning to speak German while singing, dancing, and playing games!  Komm mit!  Come along!

Gurukul (Indian/Hindi unit) Namaste. Aap kaise hain? (How are you?)
