Spain | Valencia Summer Camp Young Adults (16–19 Years)

Location

Valencia, Spain’s third largest city, sits on the country’s Mediterranean coast. The beautiful Spanish language school is tucked away deep in the heart of the old town, just a few steps away from the city’s beautiful sights and essential services. The four storey former palace has been carefully renovated into a stunning building where modernism complements history. Inside the school, walls from the original 11th Century Arab building are visible in the classrooms and open spaces, creating an atmosphere of history and mystique.

The 28 classrooms are filled with natural light, and are equipped with air-conditioning and interactive whiteboards. If studying in a stunning location rich in history isn’t enough, students can also make the most of the relaxed, well equipped social spaces during break times. They can use the computers and wifi, enjoy the reading area with books and magazines, relax on one of the two patios or bask in the sunshine on the breathtaking roof terrace, complete with sun loungers, fruit trees and a shower to cool off.

Language Course

The course comprises 20 lessons which are all about actively using Spanish in groups of students working at a similar level. The practice-oriented tuition covers all aspects of using Spanish to build students’ confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing.

The school caters for all abilities from beginners to more advanced Spanish speakers. Class sizes are limited to no more than 12 students.

Grouping classes by ability instead of age or nationality makes learning lively, international and immersive.

Students take a short written assessment before they travel and a speaking assessment at the beginning of the course to place them in the group most suited to their ability level.

Activities

The Summer Camp for Young Adults offers activities over three afternoons and three evenings throughout each week. There is also a full-day excursion every Saturday (please request to stay for an extra night on booking if you wish to join the Saturday excursion). Activities vary from week to week to ensure students who stay for multiple weeks experience a varied programme.

A detailed programme of the week’s activities is announced at the beginning of each week, along with a timetable and meeting points. Typical activities include:

• Beach sports
• Tour of Valencia
• Evening barbecue at the school
• Visit to the City of Arts, Museum of Sciences area
• Visit to the football stadium
• Bike tour of the riverbed park
• Bowling and cinema trip
• Paintballing

Accommodation

Host accommodation is included in the Summer Camps programme. It is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Spanish language and culture. Hosts not only introduce the Spanish way of life and help practice the Spanish language but will also give a taste of local and delicious regional specialities. Host accommodation is carefully selected and are situated within walking distance of the school.

Hosts provide full-board accommodation in twin rooms, sharing with another student from the school of the same gender. Under 18s share with other under 18s. Students opting for a Sunday departure can request to stay with their hosts for an additional night for a surcharge.

You can read more about what it means to stay with a host in our Host Accommodation Guide.

For a surcharge, students can request to stay in the student residence instead of host accommodation. Residence accommodation is full-board, in single or double rooms with private bathrooms and air conditioning. There is a common lounge, and games and dining areas in which students can socialise and relax.
