What is Summer Camp?

It is a one-day event where anybody has the opportunity to learn about — and learn how to speak — a Oaxacan language. Currently, participants can choose the Zapotec of Santiago Laxopa or the Mixtec of San Martín Peras.

Summer Camp brings together community members with native speaker and linguists from UC Santa Cruz. There are fun group activities and fast-paced games, each geared toward learning a Oaxacan language.

Who comes to Summer Camp?

Participants are community members who were excited to discover the indigenous languages of Oaxaca, many spoken by their neighbors across the Monterey Bay area. Native speakers of Mixtec and Zapotec teach their languages, and linguistics professors and students from UC Santa Cruz facilitate the activities.
