Real Friendships, Global Connections: The Camp Mákemáke Experience

Each summer at Camp Mákemáke, something extraordinary happens—something you won’t easily find anywhere else in Chile.

In a beautiful, natural setting, children from around the world come together for an unforgettable summer—all in English. Our campers join us from Japan, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, India, the U.S., Europe, and beyond. They arrive from different cultures, languages, and school systems—but within days, they’re laughing together, playing as a team, and forming real, lasting friendships.

This truly international community is one of the things that makes Camp Mákemáke so unique. We offer children in Chile a rare and valuable opportunity: to immerse themselves in English while connecting with peers from around the globe—without ever leaving the country.

Our English-speaking staff create a warm, structured, and safe environment where campers feel welcomed and supported from the very first day. Whether they’re stand-up paddleboarding, river tubing, playing Capture the Flag, or preparing for the wildly creative Trashion Show, campers are constantly engaging, cooperating, and learning—all while having a great time.

But the heart of the Camp Mákemáke experience is the genuine human connection that forms across cultures and languages. We see it in shared laughter at the dinner table, quiet talks between bunkmates, and teamwork during group games. Campers don’t just meet new people—they build real friendships with kids they might never have crossed paths with otherwise.

And what’s amazing is how naturally those friendships happen. Children connect through kindness, curiosity, and shared experiences. English becomes the bridge, but the connection goes far deeper.

At Camp Mákemáke, our campers gain:

• Confidence and fluency in English, through natural, immersive use

• True global friendships that often last long after camp ends

• Respect and curiosity for different cultures, beliefs, and ways of life

• Resilience and character, built through independence, teamwork, and shared responsibility

For families in Chile, Camp Mákemáke offers something truly special: a high-quality, international summer experience rooted in strong values, personal growth, and joyful connection—all in a safe and beautiful environment close to home.

Here, the world comes to camp—and your child becomes part of something bigger, brighter, and truly unforgettable.
