Udaleku 2014 came to a close last Friday, a summer camp for children organized by the federation of Basque clubs in North American, NABO. As in previous years, the camp was a wonderful experience for the children participating who were able to live and enjoy their Basque culture among friends. This year’s hosts were the Elko Euzkaldunak Basque club, and the dedication of professors and aides was once again brilliant. The two weeks concluded with a final performance where the kids showed off what they had learned for their family and friends, a wonderful teaser for Elko’s Basque Festival. Zorionak to everyone!

Elko, NV.  Udaleku 2014 is already over with the final performance taking place as the opening for the Elko National Basque Festival.  It was a joyous moment when kids and their families were once again united, all the while nervous for their final show.

After the applause and congratulations, the kids had to say goodbye to their friends that they had made over the two weeks.  It will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience for all of them, and one that is forever linked to their Basque identity. 

Following are a few images of the camp, chosen from the Udaleku 2014 Facebook page (which is worth a visit to see all that was done this year):
