It’s a camp aimed at children aged between 8 and 15 years that takes place every summer in a resort located in Valverde, on the outskirts of Elche and just 15 minutes from Alicante.
Learning Spanish or English in a camp with other Spanish boys and girls? For 15 days foreign and Spanish students will share experiences in a camp where they can enjoy Spanish or English lessons combined with fun activities, a fantastic weather and typical Spanish food.
