Did you know 🤔… UIW hosts international students from around the world for a two-week Language and Culture Camp every summer?

With a goal of blending language learning with real-world cultural experiences, the camp pairs daily English instruction with excursions across San Antonio, from the Alamo to Six Flags and more. This year, many young campers traveled all the way from Mexico to spend their mornings in English class and their afternoons exploring the city, complete with fun activities like ice skating and even a World Cup Finals watch party. Beyond the excursions, campers leave with stronger language skills, a new city experience and friendships that span the globe! 🌍
