A Learning Ecosystem
We carefully integrate:
★ A real school environment at Liceo Pino Verde (Colegio Pino Verde), Pereira – Zona Cafetera https://liceopinoverde.edu.co/ One of Colombia’s top bilingual schools—IB accredited to deliver the prestigious International Baccalaureate programs. The school’s ethos is rooted in inquiry, global citizenship, sustainability, and the holistic development of every child.
★ Immersion in nature, nestled in the heart of Colombia’s Zona Cafetera, where learning unfolds across forests, ecological trails, and gardens. Children explore and learn in environments rich with natural beauty and cultural meaning—through activities that may include cooking with local chefs, creating with regional artists, and experiencing music and traditions passed down through generations. The campus itself is a model of sustainable architecture, designed to harmonize with the landscape and inspire environmental care.
★ Peer-to-peer interaction with multilingual Spanish-speaking students from Liceo Pino Verde, offering children not only a chance to practice Spanish in meaningful, real-life contexts, but also to form friendships across cultures, build confidence, and develop social-emotional skills through joyful collaboration and shared discovery.
★ A safe, enriching summer camp environment for children—while they are engaged in immersive learning, families are guided through the Zona Cafetera’s top cultural and ecological attractions, or offered time to rest and recharge in the area’s welcoming, family-friendly hotels, cafés, and wellness spaces.
★ Opportunities for families to connect—parents engage with the local community, build relationships with Colombian families, and participate in cultural exchanges that deepen their understanding of Colombia’s traditions, language, and way of life.
★ Moments of reflection, movement, joy, and connection, ensuring that every child’s experience is memorable, developmentally meaningful, and rooted in personal growth.
At Out & About our campers and families experience the Spanish language and Colombian Culture within a vibrant ecosystem where language, culture, nature, and community come together in powerful and lasting ways.
