Parents:

 The guides will be in the arrival area waiting for the students ( guides will be provided with a list of the students, as well as name tags.)

The students will be greeted in the target language. Greetings will vary as the students learn new forms. The guide will then introduce himself and welcome the students to the camp and to the theme, in this case Spain. The students will receive a nametag with a theme related to the country.

An example of this would be:

 _Buenos días, me llamo _________, yo seré tu guía por esta semana.

Bienvenido a España. ☺

The guide will take the students to the breakfast area, where they will use the target language to name the items in the menu.
