Artime Barro
BuenCamino Camps is currently collaborating with Artime Barro. We believe in the transformative power of immersive experiences through culture. Our day camps offer children a unique opportunity to grow, explore, and thrive in a creative, bilingual environment. Each day is thoughtfully designed to blend art, language, and play, fostering self-expression, confidence, and a love for learning.
Our expert-led programs introduce children to the world of ceramics, painting, embroidery, and more, all while fully immersed in the Spanish language. Through hands-on activities, campers not only develop artistic skills but also expand their Spanish vocabulary naturally and effortlessly. The goal is to nurture curiosity, creativity, and cultural appreciation in every child.
