MEL Summer Camp 2026
Learn English During Summer Break!
The MEL Summer Camp is back!
In its 4th edition, the Mérida English Library offers a fun and engaging English immersion experience for children with age-appropriate support who are beginning to learn English as a second language.
Through an integrated and communication-focused program, students explore vocabulary, grammar structures, pronunciation, listening, creativity, and culture while discovering the world around them through stories, games, crafts, and movement.
Designed for children ages 6 to 12, the program welcomes curious learners with beginner or elementary English levels. Daily themes and differentiated activities allow students to develop oral comprehension and speaking skills in an immersive environment supported by international volunteers and English language educators.
