CAMPS
In our summer camps, the protagonist is sport in all the programs we develop. This fact makes our philosophy revolve around sportsmanship and its values: camaraderie, respect, struggle to excel and teamwork. We propose to encourage a love of nature and sports, without forgetting the creative side of the student through theater, music, art and cultural excursions.

LayosCamp: A Legacy of Growth, Adventure, and Community
LayosCamp is a family-run enterprise born from cherished childhood memories of American summer camps. Established in 1985, our mission has always been to provide children with a joyful and enriching experience during their first time away from home. Inspired by the transformative power of the camp model, we set out to create a space where kids from around the world can come together, learn, and thrive.
At LayosCamp, we believe camp life is a unique opportunity for holistic development. Children learn to navigate the basics of daily life—dressing, eating, organizing, and maintaining personal hygiene—while surrounded by peers on the same journey. These shared experiences foster self-sufficiency, discipline, and confidence in ways that often surprise even the most seasoned adults.
Beyond these foundational skills, we introduce campers to new sports, immerse them in nature, and spark their sense of adventure. Through activities that encourage simplicity, generosity, and cooperation, children return home not only "bigger" in their abilities but more aware of their own potential.
Over the years, we’ve seen how our work leaves a lasting impact. Former LayosCamp campers often return as advocates for the camp’s value, affirming that this project is not just worth working for—it’s worth living for. Every day, we are inspired to continue providing a place where young people grow, connect, and create memories that last a lifetime.
