  OUR CAMP IN SALAMANCA

Our camp in Salamanca is located in one of the most prestigious private schools, right in the historic centre of the city. The school building is extraordinary, it combines the architectural beauty of its era with modernity. It is large and spacious, surrounded by green areas where children can play football and enjoy outdoor activities. It has full sports facilities, so children will not be bored here. Thanks to the location in the very centre of Salamanca, they will also walk every day and visit new corners of this amazing city.

  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 Salamanca 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 with host families or 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 Salamanca we offer you a homestay, a school residence (with full activity pack) or no accommodation options.

HOMESTAY

Students aged 14 and over can become members of a Spanish family. It is an excellent option for those who are interested in taking advantage of living with a Spanish family and thus getting closer to the Spanish culture and language. All families are carefully selected and checked, and family members are friendly, well-behaved and caring. They help our students to have a good time during a language camp.

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.

• Single or double rooms

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.
