OneWorld Now! (OWN!) offered its second annual Summer Language Camp at Seattle University in August 2008. This is a three-week language immersion program in Modern Standard Arabic, Level I & Level II and Mandarin Chinese, Level I & Level II.
The summer camp is for high school students only, and was held every day for three weeks from August 4th August 22nd, except weekends, from 9 a.m.3 p.m. Students were expected to attend the entire three weeks, and the intention is that most students completing the summer language camp will continue their language studies during the school year through OWN!'s academic-year after school program in Seattle Public Schools. The summer camp was open to current OneWorld Now! students as well as new students.
Thanks to generous funding from Startalk, OneWorld Now! offered scholarships to up to 70 eligible students to attend the camp, where students learned Arabic or Chinese through interactive lessons, culture clubs, field trips and other innovative methods, such as podcasts.
