Summer Courses for Children and Teenagers in Spain

This series of camps is specially designed to bring children and teenagers from many countries together for a summer of language, culture and fun. Our 7 summer language camps in Spain are held in Marbella (3 camps) Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Salamanca, where students from all nationalities take 4 lessons per day of Spanish or English and eat all meals together. As the majority of students at these classes are Spanish students present for the course in English, international students will find a more than ample opportunity to practice their Spanish in a real environment.

Additionally, youngsters participate in a wide variety of activities and sports. To take advantage of their time in Spain, they will go on excursions to local sites of historic and cultural interest. Please consult the individual camp sections to determine the activities that will be available for each program. All of this adds up to so much fun that the campers don't even realize how much they're learning!

We ensure your child's safety with 24 hours/ day supervision by our highly dedicated counselors.

The counselor responsible for the student will note deposits and withdrawals and keep an eye on student spending habits, to help them budget their money. If you anticipate that your child will need additional money, it will be your responsibility to assure delivery of said funds as th school cannot receive or deliver money to students at our camp sites.

Permission for Students to Leave the Grounds

Camp personnel and directors are aware that many of the senior students that come for our programs have a certain level of freedom at home and count on being able to meet with their friends and go off-campus on given afternoons. For this reason the program directors permit 3 unescorted off-campus trips per student during each two-week session. The hours permitted are from the afternoon snack time until 23:30 hours. Only those students born during 1988 or before and whose parents have given advance, written permission, will be given the Permit to leave school grounds.

The specific days that the unescorted, off-campus trips are permitted are established by each school´s director.

Those students who are not of age and those who do not have the required written permissions are not permitted to leave the centers without supervision under any circumstances. The breadth and depth of the scheduled classes and activities are planned to maintain their interest and to fill their time.

Phone

Your child will be able to contact you through telephone booths available at our camps. However, if your child brings a mobile, we will allow its use only during designated times. In addition, each camp has an answering machine where you will be able to leave messages for your child and an emergency number in case you must contact the camp director. These numbers will be provided to you one month before your child’s arrival.

Laundry

Our programs include laundry service once every two weeks. To facilitate this service, it is necessary that the student bring a laundry bag with them. We also recommend that you mark all the student’s clothing with their full names.

Uniform

A uniform is available (optional) with the camp´s logo. We recommend purchase of the uniform package as a means to avoid concerns over what to pack, clothing that might be damaged or lost, etc.

The package consists of 6 T-shirts, 1 sweatshirt, 2 pairs of shorts, and a baseball cap. We recommend that you order this package at least 10 days before the student´s scheduled start date as it cannot be ordered/purchased on-site. The package is delivered to the student during the first days of camp and the Counselor helps the student mark all items with his/her name

Activities

The scheduling of activities is designed to ensure that the students learn and participate in as many sports activities, workshops and recreational activities as possible. The activities are always appropriate for each age level.
