Did somebody say dance break?💃🕺

At El Lago del Bosque, music and movement make language come alive while building confidence, culture, and community. Every step tells a story, and every dance is another chance to practice Spanish.

Friendships built are just as meaningful as the language learned❤️

From shared adventures and everyday conversations to traditions that bring everyone together, villagers form connections that last long after the session ends, and many return year after year to reunite with friends who feel like family. Those relationships become part of the El Lago del Bosque experience, creating memories that span summers and last a lifetime.

One of our very own putting her language skills to work in such a critical way.

A Minnesota nurse helped rescue a hiker lost for days — and her Concordia Language Villages experience made all the difference.

She’s not just an alum. She’s one of our Village nurses.

You don’t need to speak another language to work here. But you will gain powerful cross cultural skills that stay with you for life.

Nurses and nursing students: want a meaningful summer?
