according to facilities and age groups. Some of the workshops may include.
 
Open Air Workshop
With this workshop, the students will come to know diverse aspects related to the natural
world such as knot-making, nature tracking and ecological trails. At the same time one of
the principal goals of the workshop is to teach students to respect the natural elements
of their own environment.
Handicrafts Workshop
Participants can experiment with various materials and create works from such materials as
clay, paper, threads and string and various other materials purchased for the
workshops…recycled materials are used as well.
Cooking Workshop
The student’s first-steps into the culinary world are often helping to prepare a dish
from their own country or tasting one from another student’s culture. Some of the
recipes tried in the past include Mississippi Mud Pie (USA), Russian tea cakes and…to
be sure…typical recipes from Spain’s numerous provinces including paella and
Spanish tortilla or potato omelet.
Juggling Workshop
The objective of this workshop is that our students learn to create juggling balls,
balancing plates and other objects.
Ballroom Dancing Workshop
The twin goals of this workshop are to develop the student´s sense of rhythm and
body movement synchronized with different types of music. Traditional ballroom dance steps
are alternated with Spanish music…both traditional and popular…as well as music
from other countries.
Flamenco and Sevillanas Workshop
For those who don’t know how to dance typical Spanish dances, we believe that this is
a great opportunity to begin.
Press Workshop
This workshop encourages students to create a newspaper that includes camp news and
opinions, produced biweekly.
Theatre Workshop
Campers will be able to perform their own or famous works recommended by our
theatre counselor. Students will also be able to participate in the selection of the work,
make-up and costumes and set design.
Lifesaving Workshop
Fundamental lifesaving techniques are taught.
Music and Percussion Workshop
With this workshop, we will discover if students have a good musical ear and if
they know to hold a beat with bongos, the Flamenco cajon or tambourine, the guitar,
maracas and other instruments.
 
A minimum of one all day and two half-day excursions are taken during each
two week camp period.
Marbella camp: All day trips to either Seville, Granada, Tarifa or Ronda
with half-day trips scheduled to Puerto Banús, Mijas, Sierra de las Nieves, a city tour
of Marbella and others are scheduled.
| Optional Sports (see pricing above!) |
One of the best times to continue developing the student´s sports skills
and abilities is summer! Please note:
- Due to scheduling reasons, students who enroll in optional sports may not always be able
to take part in other sports offered at the camp all of the time.
- As places for these optional sports are limited, we encourage the parents to register
their child as soon as possible if interested.
- It is necessary that these spaces be reserved and paid at least two weeks in advance of
the student´s arrival so as to accommodate those with reservations.
- Only one optional sport is available per two-week camp period.
- Once the student’s program has started it is not possible to enroll in or to cancel
the optional sports options.
Horseback Riding
10 hours per two-week period is scheduled. The riding lessons are normally
scheduled for one hour, five days per week. The student is taught various riding
techniques, the care of the mount, how to properly sit on a horse, to gallop, trot and
other skills.
Tennis
12 hours per two-week camp period are scheduled. The course is designed for beginner
through advanced students. In Marbella lessons are given by teachers from the famous
tennis school, El Casco, 3 days per week for 2 hours each day. Students at the Marqués de
la Ensenada receive their lessons on-site or at the sports facilities of the nearby
university.
Golf
12 hours of lessons are scheduled for each two-week camping period. For those who would
like to begin playing or improve their game you can realize a dream opportunity to play on
the wonderful courses that surround Marbella. The program consists of a total of 12 hours
(2 hours/3 days per week). The equipment (clubs and balls) are provided by the clubhouse
at the golf course.
Swimming
For those students who want to learn or perfect swimming styles. The program consists of
eight hours (1 hour/4 days a week). This sport will be carried out in our camp pools.
