Hola, hello, ciao
Vamos Vamos curates Spanish immersion camps for kids ages 5-15 and provides local knowledge and optional itineraries for the whole family. Ask us questions, make dinner reservations, learn new things, make new friends, experience a different culture and a different city, do nothing or everything in a new location for a week with your whole family.
A bit of history
Vamos Vamos was born out of a love of travel. Like many families nowadays ours are spread out around the world and so travel is a natural part of our lives. As our children grow up in multi-cultural cities and bi-cultural families, it feels more important than ever to continue to explore and understand different cultures and customs. As we discover new places, we so passionately want to share them with everyone we care about.
Tereza is from the Czech Republic and currently lives between Joseph, OR and Mexico with her husband Tom and 13 year old daughter Francesca. Pamela is from New Zealand where she now lives with her husband Ivan and 2 kids Mika (12) and Teo (9). We met in Seattle as neighbors when our daughters were just barely 2 years old. Witnessing their growth through our many travel experiences encouraged us to try and create similar opportunities for other families.
We began in San Pancho, Mexico in 2017 as a way to show off one of our favorite beach towns, convince our friends to travel with us and give parents and kids both a unique and enriching vacation experience. See some photos from our past camps here.
After a few years of a pandemic, we’re excited to be traveling again and hoping to explore some new places! San Pancho Camp will be on again in 2024 after a few years off. Click here for more information.

San Pancho Camp Leaders
As of 2024, San Pancho Camp will be held by two incredible woman who are probably familiar faces for many of those returning.
Andy
Andy grew up in Mexico City and moved to San Pancho 7 years ago to work at Entreamigos as the art teacher and volunteer coordinator. She has 15 years of experience working with kids and teenagers in different areas: art, language immersions and more. During Covid she developed a two-year homeschooling project for adolescents ages 11 - 15 years old. She has been part of Vamos Vamos Amigos since the very first adventure in 2017 and will be co-coordinating the camp this year. Andy will be the lead teacher for the oldest group and she looks forward to all the fun adventures you will have together!
Sarah
Sarah is a licensed clinical social worker from California with over 20 years of experience working with children and families in both the states and Mexico. Over the past 5 years, she has experienced the joy of Vamos Vamos Camp as the director of Entreamigos, the town’s community center where many of the camps’ activities take place. This year Sarah has moved on from Entreamigos to form a private practice in child therapy and will also be co-coordinating the Vamos Vamos Camp in 2024. Sarah is thrilled by the opportunity to laugh, play and learn with all of your little ones as the head teacher for the youngest group. She looks forward to exploring fun ways for your children to experience all the creativity of San Pancho and Mexican culture.
