Every year since the early 1970′s N.A.B.O., in conjunction with one of the Basque clubs, has organized Udaleku, a two-week Basque Culture Summer Camp. Participants have an opportunity to learn more about their Basque heritage while having fun and making new friends.

This year’s edition will be in San Francisco, California. Camp will begin on June 21 and conclude on July 3. Last year, Udaleku took place in Elko, Nevada.

During this time kids will be introduced to Basque language, dance, sports, culture, cuisine, mus, and txistu while getting to know other kids, from not only other Basque clubs, but often from the Basque Country as well. Campers are housed with local families allowing them to get to know how people live in different communities as well.

If you would like your child to participate in Udaleku this year, here is all you need to know.
