Second half of August · Gredos · Ages 6 to 12
A smaller, more family-like camp, where children get to know each other straight away and a very special atmosphere forms.
At this time of year we also welcome proportionally more international campers —almost half the group comes from outside Spain—, so living alongside children from different countries and cultures is part of the experience, and Spanish and English come up quite naturally every day.
It is also a perfect option for families who work in August and want their children to keep making the most of the summer: a natural pool in the heart of the mountains, mountain trails, sport, nature workshops, camping under the stars, friends and plenty of time outdoors.
And, along the way, swapping quite a few hours of screen time for whole days of doing things, living together and having fun with other children. Something that does no harm in August either.
The same service and the same ratio as in July: one counsellor for every four campers. And two things only August has: all transport is included, airport or station pick-up too if you are coming from abroad; and if the group did not reach the minimum needed to run it properly, we refund you in full.
Only need one week? Ask us about coming for just the first week of the fortnight. One-week places are limited and subject to availability.
Total Spanish-language environment. Activities, meals, daily life — everything in Spanish. The most natural and effective way for your child to truly learn the language.
Our 1:4 ratio means every child gets real attention. One qualified counsellor and one in training — from our own school — for every four kids.
100 hours theory + 150 hours supervised practice. 120 graduates a year. We only hire the best — and we train them ourselves. No agency, no strangers.
Over 40 years welcoming families from across Europe. Medical centre minutes away, 24 h nurse on site, accident insurance included. We take safety seriously.
A classic multi-activity programme set against the dramatic backdrop of La Vera. Six activities a day, evening events, Olympics and excursions.
Climbing, kayaking, archery, hiking, horse riding, nature workshops, theatre, cookery, football, basketball… plus excursions and night-time events.
Six videos from Gredos camp: the Trabuquete excursion, kayaking, journalism workshop and more.
