Communikids or WIS for Spanish camp for quiet 5 yo?

[Anonymous]

Our five year old loves the exposure to Spanish she's gotten at school, but it's only a weekly lesson, so we'd/she'd like to try summer camp for four weeks or so of the summer. Anyone have views on pros and cons to consider regarding Communikids and WIS? If it matters: she will be a rising K student but almost 6 (October bday), is pretty shy and prefers calm, structured settings, and really likes singing Spanish songs. And this would be starting mid or late summer. Thanks in advance for feedback/insights!

Pp here- just wanted to add we'll do full day plus aftercare, so would appreciate opinions on the whole shebang.

I would not suggest WIS (and my kids attend WIS ) here is why: most kids attending camps are existing students already in the Immersion and "outside kids" get lost in it. Communikds is the opposite-more daycare setting-didn't love it when I visited.

Interesting. Would even the rising K campers already be in the program?

I'm looking at both of these schools as well. My son is already fluent in Spanish, so do you think WIS is a better fit? Not sure if you mean "outside kids" are kids that don't speak the language or just in general?

We are in the same boat but went with Communikids for the summer. WIS just posted something abt Steve and Kates camp but I thought they were having an immersion camp. Confusing. Next year I am going for Lowell -- swimming and Spanish immersion! Perfect.

WIS won't be doing in person camp this summer.
