Iberian Camps
international Camp for teenagers aged 11-17 years, interested in improving their level of French language in an ideal holiday destination like Alicante and having fun doing sports or artistic/cultural activities together with boys and girls of the same age from different countries.
The main objective of this camp is that our participants have a great time, while they learn French and enrich themselves by socialising with young people from other countries.
The participants have 4 hours of French lessons every morning, from Monday to Friday. Afterwards they join with the teens from our Spanish camp and our English Camp to have lunch and spend the rest of day together. In the afternoon, they’ll enjoy doing sports, theatre workshops, choreographic dance or plastic arts, among other activities.
Alicante has a fantastic Mediterranean climate and the Summer average temperature is 30ºC. For this reason, our campers will enjoy the beach and the swimming pool very much. Furthermore, at the weekends, they will do funny and interesting excursions to the best places in the province.
They are permanently accompanied by 24 hours-counsellors, who are taking good care of them and safeguarding their safety. The ratio is 1 counsellor for 10 participants.
Every activity aims at promoting the interrelation between all campers, guaranteeing the cross-cultural communication and avoiding the separate groups per nationality.

We are a Company specialised in the organization of English and Spanish camps for teenagers from all over the world. Our office is in Elche and all our Camps are located within the province of Alicante (south-east of Spain), near the sea and with a fantastic climate (328 sunny days per year and average temperature of 18 degrees).
We search for excellence in all our actions, from the choice of the place where the camp will be located, until the selection of the staff who will be in contact with the campers during their stay.
We have selected with extreme care the facilities where our camps will take place: the bedrooms where the campers will sleep; the classrooms where they will learn a language (fully equipped and air-conditioned); the sports facilities (at the University of Alicante)… Moreover, we have carefully planned the daily menu for every breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as their excursions and leisure activities.
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 11 - 17. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
