RURAL CAMP FOR AGES 7 -13

Alea Summer Camp in Vegafría is a camp with 60 places in a quiet and safe environment: the small village of Vegafría, 160 km from Madrid, in the autonomous region of Castilla y León, between the cities of Segovia and Valladolid. Twenty inhabitants live here, where you can still find non asphalted squares and streets.

The participants stay at an ancient 19th century house, made of wood and stone, as typical ones in the region. This house has been restored for tourism. There is a program full of games, crafts and sports for campers. These activities are held in English for two hours and a half a day, which allows Spanish children being immersed in an English speaking environment and English-speakers campers comparing their cultural differences and sharing personal experiences. Native counselors of our team carry out this part of the program, guaranteeing the participants take the best out of this exchanging experience.
