Frequently Asked Questions

We have two distinct tracks to ensure age-appropriate learning. The Kids Camp covers ages 4–14 (split into smaller age groups), while our Adult Camp is designed for learners 16 and up.

The camp is 100% virtual and immersive. We bring the culture to your living room. Classes are held live via video conference, allowing students to connect with instructors and peers from all over the world without leaving home.

We know summer schedules can be tricky. All live sessions are recorded and uploaded daily. If your child misses a session, they can watch the replay to catch up on the lesson and cultural activity before the next day.

No expensive textbooks are required. You will just need a computer/tablet with a stable internet connection. For the Arts & Crafts portions (like Adire designing or beadwork), we will send a simple list of common household items you might need a few days in advance.

Absolutely. The camp is welcoming to complete beginners. Our “play-first” immersion method helps non-speakers feel comfortable immediately, using visuals, songs, and games to teach the language naturally.

Yes! We want the whole family to get involved. Use the code FOLASADE at checkout to receive 10% off your total enrollment fee when registering siblings or multiple family members.
