Sevilla Summer Camp
Sevilla Summer Camp
- Ages: 14 to 17 years old
- International students only
Location
Sevilla is the capital of Andalucía and has a population of roughly 700,000. The historical influence of the Moors is still present in old Sevillan architecture today. This is seen most clearly in magnificant buildings like the Alcazar palaces and the cathedral, which is among the most spectacular in all of Spain. The famous customs and traditions of bullfighting and flamenco help make Sevilla an exciting and spectacular city for the language traveler.
Special Junior Program
The Sevilla Junior Program consists of 20 hours of Spanish classes per week according to their language level, which we determine on the first day with a placement test. The program also includes a variety of activities and excursions, ranging from Sevillanas dance classes and cooking lessons to trips to Matalascañas Beach, Cádiz and more!
Outside of the school, teen participants enjoy an independent lifestyle, and are therefore responsible for getting to and from their commitments (classes, activities, meals, etc.). Students are also responsible for making their curfew, which is 11:30pm from Sunday to Thursday and 12:30am on Friday and Saturday.
This independent lifestyle also means that, unlike in our other camps, afternoon activities and excursions are optional.
Facilities
Sevilla Junior Program participants will attend classes in the heart of the historic Santa Cruz neighborhood, just steps away from major Sevilla attractions like the Cathedral, the Alcázar, the Ayuntamiento (City Hall) and much more.
Our school has modern facilities and is set in a building dating back to the early 20th century. Facilities include 12 air-conditioned classrooms, a roof deck, a meeting room and a multimedia classroom.
- Capacity: 80 students
Accommodations
Participants may choose between staying with a host family or in a student residence. A full-board meal plan is included in both options, and both options enforce the nightly curfew; the school directors will be contacted should students break curfew.
Students who choose the host family option will share a room with another teenager in a family located within walking distance from the school. The host family will provide students with 3 meals per day and will enforce the nightly curfew with which students are expected to comply.
Students who prefer the residence option will stay in a modern, three-story hostel just a short walk from the lush María Luisa Park and the Old Quarter of Sevilla. There are double, triple and quadruple rooms, all of them with private bathrooms, small exterior balconies and set around a large central courtyard. Other residence facilities include: a TV room, air-conditioning and central heat, internet access, towel rental, meeting rooms, coin-operated laundry machines, public telephones, 24-hour reception area and more.
