International Camp

Learm Spanish or English on Summer Camp

International Camp is an innovative multinational / multilingual camp in southern Spain in El Puerto de Santa Maria. The camp offers a variety of ways for Juniors and teenagers to learn Spanish or English in the gorgeous Spanish sunshine, whilst gaining valuable cultural insight into the Spanish way of life. Learning can be combined with exciting sports options, like Arsenal football programme and supercool watersports activities. Students can also choose between lodging with a homestay family or on the camp facilities. Our camps can even be turned into a family holiday, with parents studying in our Spanish adult academy and the children attending the camp during the day.

Summer Camp in Spain

Location

Our International Spanish Camp is located in the wonderful coastal town of El Puerto de Santa Maria, in glorious Andalusia. The town boasts some of the most spectacular beaches in Spain and being on the Atlantic coast it benefits from a cooler summer climate than both inland Spain and the Mediterranean coast. This makes it a hub spot for domestic Spanish tourism but the area is not so well known internationally, making it an authentic place to learn Spanish. International Camp takes place in the same venue as one of our English learning camps for Spanish children, meaning children can learn either language and outside the classroom the campers have ample opportunity to meet Spanish children and practice language in a real context . Our team has years of experience running summer camps and we are renowned for both our personal attention and innovative learning methodologies.
