children a new language the same way they learned to speak in their
native tongue: by listening, repeating, and speaking. They are fully
immersed in the target language and assimilate new concepts via
demonstration rather than translation. And they will truly enjoy the
class through its age-appropriate curriculum. Berlitz Kids uses lots
of colorful visual cues, games, songs, puppet shows, role plays, etc.
to motivate younger children. Several 3-week sessions are available in

Ruth
Sewing
Academy
- Summer Youth Sewing Camps. Looking
for something for your children to do this summer? Looking for a camp
that’s fun and educational? Something they can use the rest of their
lives? Come learn to sew this summer. Ten weeks filled with sewing and
making new friends. Classes meet once a week for 90 mins. I have over
40 years of experience and I’ve been teaching for over four years
full time, with over 500 students learning to sew. My teaching style
is a hands on approach with each student working at his/her own pace.
From learning how to use their sewing machine the first day, then
going on to make a tote bag, a quilt, PJ bottoms and so much more.
