Gredos 6 to 12 yo

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. There will also be Olympics with their respective opening and closing ceremonies and with the delivery of medals.

Our facilities sit a few kilometres from Cuacos de Yuste, in the stunning natural reserve of La Vera (Cáceres). Summer heat during the day, cool evenings thanks to the river gorge nearby.

Groups are split by age. Every day features 6 different activities — hikes, river adventures, sports, workshops — plus evening games and excursions.

Home-cooked food with quality local produce, with full attention to allergies and dietary needs.

Two age groups: Eagles (6–9) and Crows (10–12).

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

Subcontractors: zip lines (Valle del Jerte Parque Aventura), horse riding (Ecupasil), canoeing or kayaking (Aventurera).

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. There is daily laundry.

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.
