NOT AVAILABLE FOR 2025

This Spanish language camp in Marbella Elviria is aimed at children and young adults aged 5-18. Marbella, due to its surroundings has a specific micro-climate. Throughout the year the temperature is moderate, there are no harsh winters nor scorching summers. You can walk for miles on sandy beaches, relax in the shade of lush green palm trees, take a swim in the Mediterranean, or stroll the narrow cobbled streets of the Old Town

Our camp is more than just learning – it is a journey into a city full of culture, art and sunshine combined with an effective language course. Discover Marbella while on our Spanish course!

In Marbella Elviria we offer you a course and a stay in a school residence (with full activity pack). You can also choose an option with a course and day camp's activities but with no accommodation, or just a course itself (also without accommodation).

• You can also take Spanish courses throughout the year, outside the summer season. Contact us for more information

  OUR CAMP IN MARBELLA ELVIRIA

It is located in a beautiful residential area around 20 km from the city centre and 6 km from the sea. It is spread over 3 hectares of green land on top of a hill, with picturesque views of the coast. It allows students to spend time in a safe, quiet and clean environment. In the main school building there are bedrooms for students, a dining room and a canteen, a conference room, a doctor’s office and various student clubs. The classrooms are in a separate building next to the sports complex. The resort also has a multipurpose centre, swimming pool, large gardens, and football, basketball, handball and volleyball courts. The campus can hold 200 participants.

  SPANISH COURSE

On our course, the Spanish language will surround you from all sides, 24 hours a day, and you will have countless opportunities to use this language with both Mabella residents and new people you meet. With constant contact with the language and culture you will absorb knowledge in a pleasant and spontaneous way. Our teachers are enthusiasts who love to motivate and encourage, and the materials they choose for classes are interesting so that learning is a pleasure.

20 lessons a week, 4 lessons daily, Monday to Friday, free weekends. Each lesson is 45 minutes long and we set a maximum of 15 students per class to ensure individual attention to each student as well as conversation and personalized communication. The course is appropriate for all language levels (which will be determined at the beginning). Everything we teach in the language course, we also use in extracurricular activities with international students. We organize two language courses at the same time: English, which is attended primarily by students from Spain, and a Spanish language course, which is attended by students from all over the world. During the extracurricular activities Spanish students and international groups work together on various projects and spend time together at the camp.

  ACCOMMODATION

Summer-campers live in residences on campus where lessons take place. Students are also quartered with their peers from Spain, who constitute up to 60% of the participants, and also take part in extracurricular activities. This is an excellent opportunity to use the Spanish language in practice and learn the colloquialisms and customs of Spanish people.

In Marbella Elviria we offer you a school residence (with full activity pack) or no accommodation options.

RESIDENCE

Staying in a residence in the language camp gives the opportunity to live with colleagues from the classroom, learn Spanish in the same place, play, eat together, etc. Your child will be in an international environment with peers and monitors at all times. Here they will learn to communicate with people from all over the world, get to know different cultures, customs and habits, and make friends with new people from Spain and other countries. All campers wake up in the morning, eat breakfast together, attend an intensive language course, meet together for lunch, and have a great time on many excursions and activities. Spanish and international campers are only separated during the morning language classes.

• Students are grouped by age and gender
• Rooms are shared: 4-6 people for older campers, 6-12 people for the little ones

NO ACCOMMODATION

This is the perfect option for those who live in the surroundings or are spending holiday time living with their families. You can choose between two options: to attend the course only, or take part in both, a course and day camp’s activities, but both without our accommodation. Deciding to take the second option, students will be able to attend language classes and enjoy activities with new international friends during the day and return to their families in the evening.
