Spain | San Sebastian | Spring/Summer Camp (Ages 14–17)

Language Course

The language course comprises 20 lessons of 45 minutes each.  The school caters for all abilities, from beginners (with specific start dates) to more advanced French speakers. Tuition is very much practice-oriented, meaning classes don’t solely teach grammar, verbs and vocabulary; they also put students in real-life situations and encourage them to gain confidence through peer discussion.  During the week, 5 classes of 45 minutes focus on a collaborative project, enabling students from many different countries to work closely together.  Lessons take place in the morning.

Activities

This San Sebastian summer camp is an activity programme designed for teenagers seeking independence and wanting to make new friends from around the world. During the welcome meeting on the first day of your course, you will be given information about the activities.

Three afternoons per week, you will be supervised in a variety of leisure activities.  Activities vary from week to week to make sure that those staying for multiple weeks experience variety within their programme.

For the other two afternoons, students are given the freedom to enjoy exploring San Sebastian with their new friends.

A full-day activity is provided on the Saturday*.

Surfing or cooking lessons can be added for the two free afternoons at an additional cost.

* Students staying for 2 or more weeks will have the Saturday excursion included in the camp price; however for those attending the camp for 1 week only will need to book an extra night at the end of their trip to be able to take part in the excursion.

Accommodation

Host accommodation is available and is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Spanish language and culture. Host accommodation is carefully selected and is conveniently situated within a 30 minute journey to the Camp. Hosts provide full board accommodation in twin rooms from the Sunday before your camp starts to the Saturday after it finishes. Students opting for a Sunday departure will be able to stay for an additional night with their hosts and enjoy the Saturday excursion, for an extra fee.
