Kids Camp Gredos

6 to 12 years old Full board

This program is for those who leave home for the first time. The camp takes place in our facilities a few km from Cuacos de Yuste. A privileged setting in the foothills of Gredos, "La vera" in Extremadura. With summer heat but cool at night thanks to the river gorge. Six different activities throughout the day. Two hours of activity in the morning and two in the afternoon full of sports, nature and artistic activities. The schedule is completed with free time, a rest after eating enlivened with video, dips in the natural pool that adjoins the camp, evenings and excursions.
The students participate in housekeeping tasks, tidying up rooms, daily laundry and setting up the dining room. Campers are divided into two age groups. The Eagles (6-9) and the Ravens (10-12). Once they have rotated through all the activities, all the campers choose them freely. The activities are directed by free time monitors or sports technicians trained in our official school. There are two monitors for every 6 students, one qualified and one in practice.

Multi-activity program. The groups are distributed by age. They carry out 6 different activities throughout the day that are complemented with field trips. Every day after dinner we organize evenings with animation games.

The camp takes place at our facilities a few kilometres from Cuacos de Yuste, in La Vera — warm summer days and cool evenings thanks to the river gorge.

Campers are split into two age groups: Eagles (6–9) and Crows (10–12). Once they have tried every activity, they get to choose freely.

1:3 ratio (two counsellors per six campers). Two hours of activity in the morning and two in the afternoon. Rest after lunch, dips in the natural river pool, evening games and excursions.

Shared rooms of 4, 6 and 8 campers, separated by sex and age.

It is almost the same at every location. A typical day: 8:45 wake up, tidy the room and have breakfast; 10:00 activities; 12:30 swim and free time; 13:00 lunch and a rest with a film; 16:00 swim and afternoon snack; 16:30 activities; 19:00 showers; 20:15 dinner; 21:00 evening activity, and at 22:00 a meeting with their counsellor. In Santander and Tarifa the swims are at the beach. At Sotogrande-Tarifa the day starts at 9:00, and three days a week the group spends the whole day in Sotogrande (10:00 to 19:00) sailing and playing padel and tennis. On excursion and camping days the timetable changes.

Our camps are divided into age groups with the aim that students have fun and do activities with other campers of the same age. Each group has a program designed according to their abilities.

We prepare the food with top quality products and of course, with a lot of love. Menus designed for children. A healthy and balanced diet. The children eat with their room monitor. We have options for those children with intolerances, allergies or special diets.

All the camps are less than 5 minutes from a medical center and 15 minutes from a hospital. A licensed lifeguard and one or two nursing leads, depending on the number of campers, look after the infirmary and the children's day-to-day care. The nursing leads are usually medical graduates preparing for the MIR (the Spanish residency exam); they provide first-line care and are available 24 hours a day. All children are covered by accident insurance.

In addition, it will be essential for each child to bring a photocopy of the Social Security card or, failing that, of their private insurance for possible illnesses in their suitcase. Foreign children also need compulsory travel insurance provided by LayosCamp to expedite procedures in case of any eventuality.

It is essential to wear the camp uniform, 3 t-shirts, 3 pants, 3 pairs of socks and 1 sweatshirt: €160 complete uniform.

We accept uniforms from other years or from former students. The uniform must be ordered at the time of online registration. The uniform will be given to the campers on the first day of camp.

As every year we ask you to please bring a small suitcase.

In all programs we include round trip transportation from Madrid to each camp. We make an appointment with the parents at a meeting point and the children always travel accompanied by monitors.

LayosCamp offers a collection and delivery service at the airport or station for those children traveling from abroad, at an extra 70 € per camper provided flights or trains arrive within the recommended time window; outside that window, please contact the office. We will need full arrival and departure details.

Times, departure point and distances for the bus from Madrid

From the fourth day of camp there is one hour of calls a day, at a time we will give you. During that hour you can call the camp phone or your child's mobile. The rest of the time, their camp counsellor keeps the phone.

You can carry out the entire registration process through the Web.
