Semillas: Summer Travel Camps for Louisiana High School Students
The Semillas Program is our flagship summer experience for high school students. Semillas means “seeds” in Spanish, and these trips are designed to plant the seeds of resilience, curiosity, and cross-cultural connection that last a lifetime.
Over the course of one week, students step outside of their comfort zones and into a supportive cohort environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. With a balance of adventure, reflection, and community immersion, participants return home more confident, independent, and inspired.
What students gain:
A deeper understanding of themselves and their potential
Cross-cultural friendships and connections
Confidence navigating new environments
Stories, skills, and memories that shape who they become
Itinerary Highlights:
Explore vibrant cities, rainforests, or coastlines in Latin America
Engage in hands-on learning with local educators and guides
Stay in eco-lodges that connect students to daily life
Participate in nightly reflection circles and group activities
