Spanish Language &
Cultural Immersion Program

July 13-27, 2009

 

Join Eureka Adult School counselor Monica Rivera, a former 20-year resident of Guatemala, for a 2-week immersion in the language and culture of the colonial town of Antigua Guatemala. Language instruction is provided by the Union School of Antigua, the same school that prepares Peace Corps volunteers for fieldwork in Guatemala. One-on-one instruction ensures that you receive the attention and practice required to learn Spanish at your own pace.

The program cost includes transportation within Guatemala, lodging and breakfast each day, Spanish language class, field and side trips, and weekend trips. Stay in the Hotel-Museum Uxlabil, which is one block from the Central Plaza and three blocks from the Union School of Antigua. Also included are weekend trips to Tikal and Lake Atitlan; a guided climb up the volcano Pacaya; tours of coffee, macadamia nut and orchid farms; tours of artisan factories of jade, silver and textiles; art galleries and museums; churches and cathedrals; markets; and salsa and meringue dance lessons.

This program is intended for educators seeking professional development through Eureka City Schools or academic credit through the Office of Extended Education at Humboldt State University.  Everyone will be required to attend a pre-trip orientation meeting prior to registering. 

Program cost, excluding roundtrip airfare, is approximately $2,000 per person.

Five units of academic credit are available through HSU Extended Education for an additional fee of $230.
