  OUR CAMP IN MARBELLA LAS CHAPAS

It is located in an almost 4 hectare green area surrounded by pine trees, belonging to a private Spanish primary and secondary school, approx. 8 km from the centre of Marbella and a 15-minute walk from the beach. In the central building of the campus there are bedrooms, a canteen, and rooms for educators and teachers. You can enjoy a variety of sports and outdoor activities as there are many sports facilities at the resort, including a large swimming pool with showers, a multi-functional gymnasium, a paddle tennis court, 2 football fields, a basketball, handball and mini-football fields, a golf course, a climbing wall and two horse stables, as well as a newspaper stand and a games room. The campus can hold 220 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 Marbella 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 Las Chapas 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.

• Spacious rooms for 6-12 students, equipped with bunk beds, closets, and air conditioning

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.
