A summer camp for kids is a great opportunity for children to have fun. However, it is also an opportunity for them to continue learning, bonding and acquiring skills. Everything that an activity of this type offers them, and it will also allow them to learn values such as responsibility, teamwork and autonomy.
What benefits do children and adolescents get from participating in our activities? First of all, being surrounded by nature brings great benefits to children’s mental and physical health. But also, while exploring the paradisiacal surroundings and discovering new experiences, their individual growth increases.

Learning English: there is no better way to learn English than combining learning with recreational activities. This year you have a golden opportunity for your children to learn English in a very effective way. Our bilingual monitors integrate this language, almost without the participants realizing it, when doing the various sports or recreational activities of the camp.
Discover an exciting sport: they can live within the nature reserve the passion of hiking while walking around Famara with the sun and the wind as allies. They will also hike the important Famara-Caleta de Caballo route, visiting the volcanic formations of the area and contemplating the wonderful views of the Chinijo archipelago and its islets.

During our courses we alternate the activities between English and Spanish, this way the children can learn languages by practicing them while enjoying our fantastic activities.

On days when activities take place outside the camp, monitors will stay on the beach with the children from the morning camp to carry out their own activities without any interruption or changes.

They need to bring their ID and health card. And if necessary, inform the camp about illnesses and allergies.

We have qualified instructors in free time with many years of experience who will accompany them at all times, except when they are in the surf lessons, which will be the qualified instructors in surfing who will be in charge of them. Your children will be supervised 24 hours a day by monitors, with a system of internal rules which they must comply with.

Something that often worries parents is the issue of the flight and letting your child come alone. The airlines offer a service called “unaccompanied minor”, we recommend you to take a look at it for your peace of mind.

Undoubtedly the best options to reach our camps:
www.ryanair.com usually has the best price if you come from Valencia, Barcelona or Madrid.
www.vueling.com with the fall of Spanair also opens lines from Bilbao, Madrid and Barcelona.

Several monitors will be in charge of organizing departures and arrivals at the airport. A monitor will wait in the arrivals area for the flight attendant who will hand over the child. In order for the children to travel alone, you will have to contract a service with the airline so that they are accompanied and safe at all times. In order for us to pick them up at the airport, you must send us the corresponding authorization for the flight attendant to deliver the child to the monitor.

Sunday is always a day of arrivals and departures. Children can come at any time. We pick them up at the airport in the same way. On the last Sunday the departure is before 12.00pm in order to leave the house free and proceed with the cleaning before the next occupancy or shift.

Sometimes, due to flight issues, parents ask us to allow the child to arrive on a Monday or Tuesday. No problem, the child is accepted without problems and we will go to pick him/her up at the airport, but the departure remains on Sunday and the price of the camp also remains intact plus an additional 40€ for transportation and pick up at the airport.

If on the other hand a child wants to leave on the following Monday or Tuesday, even if he/she only comes for one week, he/she will have to pay for 2 weeks of camp because for us that place remains unsold. In addition to the additional 40 € transfer back to the airport. Whenever there is a transfer that is not on Sunday, you pay 40€ each way.

We have only 15 places per week for the accommodation option because we prioritize quality and attention in the service to children and families who choose to trust us to offer an optimal camp experience.
