Overview
100% English summer camps where children sleep in large, spacious tents surrounded by the best environment possible: nature. In this setting, they not only have an amazing time through a wide variety of workshops and activities, but also learn about sustainability and environmental awareness.
A 1- or 2-week experience full of discoveries, laughter, friendships, off-the-beaten-path excursions… and many more adventures!
While many participants come from Spain, we have children from other countries as well creating a truly international environment. This allows English to be used naturally, both during activities and in free time, as children interact with one another.
Our goal is practical English for international communication, empowering children gain confidence and connect with peers from different cultures.
Children may also pick up some Spanish informally, adding an extra cultural dimension to their experience.
Activities such as Forest Survivor, Olimpic Water Games, AcroYoga, and Ecobuilding come together to create our added value: having a fantastic time while reconnecting with nature and learning about important concepts such as circular economy, sustainability, orienteering, and how to care for a garden. All of this takes place in English with our native and bilingual instructors.
At NewPa, our immersion programs are characterised by the dedication and care we put into designing and developing each activity and learning experience.
FULL ENGLISH IMMERSION
English as the only working language (with bilingual and native instructors)
Fun workshops and activities designed to foster personal autonomy and environmental awareness
Cultural diversity through volunteers from around the world
Personalised attention: small groups of 7–9 children per instructor (instead of the usual 12–15)
In our camps, as in all our programs, English is used as a tool to spark children’s curiosity about other cultures and give them the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in the classroom.
Most of our educational materials are handmade, prioritising sustainable and recycled resources in order to transmit values such as responsibility and respect.

Academics
Our Summer Camps do not offer a formal academic program. Instead, the focus of our camps is on educational leisure through experiential learning.
Children and young people engage in hands-on activities, outdoor exploration, teamwork, and creative projects that foster personal development, social skills, environmental awareness, and language immersion. The camp experience is designed to encourage curiosity, collaboration, and self-confidence, allowing participants to learn naturally through play, interaction, and real-world experiences rather than traditional classroom instruction.
In short, while there are no formal lessons or grades, our program is carefully designed to provide meaningful learning opportunities in a fun, safe, and supportive environment, helping children grow in multiple dimensions and enjoy an unforgettable summer.
Language lessons
We work in natural English immersion throughout our activities, except in moments of need or emergencies (for example if children feel overwhelmed, allergies, or medical issues). Most of the participating children are Spanish, so interactions naturally encourage continuous cultural exchange as they are mixed together at all times. This year we are also promoting the participation of international campers so that next summer we can run a parallel camp with Spanish immersion.
There are no lessos, but natural language immersion, like it would happen when learning your mother tongue.
In the evenings, before or after dinner, each tent group has a short meeting with their reference counsellor. This moment is held in Spanish so children can comfortably share how they are feeling and discuss any needs they might have. International participants will join these check-ins according to their own needs. 😊

Accommodation & facilities
Our Summer Camps take place in the beautiful Barrio Trasvía of Comillas, on a flat private piece of land where we set up the entire camp from scratch at the start of each season and dismantle it at the end. This includes tents, kitchen and dining areas, workshop materials, shade marquee, chill-out, dry toilets, and outdoor showers – everything needed to create a safe and comfortable camp environment.
Sleeping arrangements:
- Children stay in spacious bell tents, with 5–7 participants per tent depending on age and size.
- Each tent is supervised by a dedicated monitor, ensuring personalized attention, safety, and support throughout the stay.
The land offers plenty of open space for activities and workshops, providing a secure and practical base for children to enjoy nature, explore, and make the most of their summer experience. Our setup allows the camp to be fully self-contained, safe, and welcoming, giving children a sense of adventure while keeping comfort and practicality in mind.

Q&A
Our camps follow a clear leadership and supervision structure to ensure both safety and quality of the experience.
Each camp is led by a Camp Director, who is responsible for the overall management of the programme, safeguarding, and staff coordination. Supporting the director, there is a Camp Coordinator who oversees the day-to-day organisation of activities and provides guidance and support to the staff team.
The rest of the team is made up of monitors (camp counsellors) who work directly with the children. Monitors are organised in pairs, and each pair is responsible for one of the camp teams. In addition, every monitor is assigned a small group of children sharing a tent, becoming their reference monitor during the camp. This helps create a closer relationship, ensures individual follow-up, and provides children with a trusted adult they can turn to whenever they need support.
Alongside the core staff team, we also host international volunteers who take part in camp life and activities, contributing to the intercultural and language immersion environment of the camp. While they support activities and interact with the children, supervision and responsibility always remain with the qualified staff members.
Our staff team combines qualified youth workers, experienced educators, and international volunteers, creating a well-prepared and diverse team.
First, we work with officially certified camp monitors, as required by the regional youth regulations. These monitors hold recognised qualifications in youth work and leisure education and are trained to work with children and young people in camp settings.
In addition to the required staff, we intentionally hire extra monitors to maintain a reduced staff-to-child ratio. This allows us to ensure high-quality activities, provide closer attention to each child, and support the natural language immersion that is an important part of our camps.
Alongside the core staff team, we also host international volunteers who participate in the camp as part of our cultural exchange approach. They enrich the experience by bringing different languages, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds, helping create an environment where children can engage in authentic intercultural interaction.
All staff take part in preparation sessions before and during the camp, where we review camp planning, safeguarding procedures, and group briefings to ensure that everyone is aligned and ready to provide a safe, supportive, and meaningful camp experience.
Yes, they are mandatory by law.
Time4Training is a training session we run with the camp staff before each camp group arrives. During this time we review the group briefing, go over key rules and emergency protocols, look through the camp planning for the week, and spend some time on team building so the staff can align and prepare to work together.
Diversity and inclusion are core values of our educational approach. We welcome children from different cultural, linguistic, and social backgrounds and aim to create an environment where everyone feels respected, safe, and valued.
Our activities are designed following principles of non-formal and experiential education, encouraging cooperation rather than competition and allowing children to participate at their own pace and according to their abilities. We pay close attention to group dynamics, ensuring that all children are included and supported.
In addition, the presence of international volunteers contributes to the intercultural dimension of the camp, exposing participants to different languages, cultures, and perspectives in a natural and meaningful way.
The camp operates under a clear code of conduct and safeguarding framework to ensure the wellbeing and protection of all participants.
Our policies are aligned with the Spanish LOPIVI law (Ley Orgánica de Protección Integral a la Infancia y la Adolescencia frente a la Violencia), which establishes comprehensive measures to prevent and address any form of violence against children and adolescents.
All staff members receive training in safeguarding and are familiar with the camp’s protocols, which include respectful behaviour guidelines, prevention measures, clear reporting procedures, and emergency response protocols. We also work proactively to create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and asking for help when needed.
Our camp follows a no mobile phone policy for participants.
Disconnecting from screens helps children fully engage with the camp experience, nature, and their peers. The camp is designed as a digital detox environment, encouraging real-life interaction, creativity, and presence in the moment.
Families are informed about this policy in advance, and we maintain communication channels with families (emails and photps folder) and parents can contact the camp team if necessary. Our philosophy is simple: “No news is good news”. Children are encouraged to immerse themselves in the experience while families can trust that they are well cared for.
¡Hola a todos! He tenido la gran oportunidad de haber compartido una experiencia maravillosa en este campamento. Las personas encargadas y organizadoras son súper amables y encantadoras; se esmeran para que todos los jóvenes y personas que están allí se diviertan y creen momentos inolvidables. La primera impresión fue la mejor que pude presenciar; los monitores se encargaban de hacer sentir cómodos a esas personitas que no eran muy buenas con las palabras o que simplemente eran más tímidas, las personas extrovertidas llenaban con su alegría a los demás y eran el alma de la fiesta. Todos los días que pasé allí fueron momentos que recordaré durante toda mi vida, ya que me hizo crecer y mejorar como persona, me hizo dar cuenta que la felicidad se puede encontrar de diferentes maneras y que siempre es bueno dar una oportunidad. Estoy encantadísima de haber podido vivir experiencias maravillosas con todos aquellos que se volvieron familia en el primer segundo que nos conocimos. ¡Estoy profundamente agradecida con todos vosotros!
Este campamento de inglés en plena naturaleza ha sido una experiencia increíble, de las mejores que he vivido. Desde el primer día, el ambiente fue súper acogedor y divertido. Los monitores eran nativos o tenían un nivel altísimo, y hacían que aprender inglés fuera algo natural, sin presión y a través de juegos, actividades y convivencia diaria.
El entorno era espectacular: rodeado de montañas, bosques y aire puro, perfecto para desconectar y disfrutar. Hicimos un montón de actividades como senderismo, deportes al aire libre, juegos en equipo y veladas nocturnas, todo en inglés, lo que ayudaba muchísimo a mejorar sin darte cuenta.
Sin duda, lo recomendaría al 100% a cualquiera que quiera mejorar su inglés mientras vive una experiencia única, hace amigos y disfruta de la naturaleza. ¡Repetiría sin pensarlo!
El campamento ha sido una experiencia inolvidable, una semilla que inicia un nuevo crecimiento en nuestros pequeños. La educación pausada, amable, cariñosa y respetuosa de todo el equipo y la calidez humana de cada uno de sus miembros ha hecho que solo queramos volver a vivir esta experiencia mil veces más.
