Summer Camps

Kids & Teen Programs - Summer Camps Abroad
From 5 to 18 years old, mixed with 60% Spanish students

A unique opportunity for youngsters between 5 and 18 to learn Spanish - while they live the unforgettable experience of a fun and active summer holiday abroad with international friends in a student residence.

Our well-structured summer camps combine high quality intensive Spanish language courses with a full schedule of sports and leisure activities making this course a fun and rewarding vacation for youngsters.

Your child's companions will have travelled from as many as 42 different countries to learn Spanish and, in several of our programs, will include Spanish youngsters. Your child will participate in sports and activities while making friends from around the world and practising a new language. Our experienced camp staff works to create a fun and comfortable atmosphere for language learning, hands-on practice, and cultural exchange.

Summer camp programs are available in 8 different locations in Spain in Barcelona, Granada, Madrid, Marbella (Albergue), Marbella (Alborán), Marbella (Alemán), Salamanca, Sevilla and Valencia. Offer your youngster an unforgettable summer abroad learning Spanish with don Quijote!

Spanish classes with personal attention

Our summer youth language courses are organised into 20 classes per week, with 4 classes every day, Monday through Friday (except at the Marbella Albergue Camp, where students receive 5 classes per day). Each class lasts 45 minutes, and all course syllabi are 100% compatible with the U.S. academic credit system.

Your child will always study in a group of 12 or fewer students in order to ensure the individualised attention needed to make real progress in Spanish.

What's more, the carefully designed curriculum emphasises conversation and communication, encouraging your youngster and companions to take full advantage of their surroundings and apply what they learn each day by talking and interacting with friends.
