Special focus
Multi-activity · Sports & Outdoor
Acampark's week is built as a full day-and-night programme divided into competitions, recreational activities, exclusive attractions, workshops and special events, all directed by the counsellor team so no camper has to work out what to do next. Some blocks bring the whole camp together, deliberately mixing younger and older children so they learn to look after one another, while others split into age bands so the challenge and the language fit the group. Two running competitions give the week its spine — the Gincana das Equipes, contested by four teams across indoor, field, sporting, night, reasoning and skill games, and the Gincana dos Quartos, which quietly rewards rooms for organisation and for dressing up at the themed events. What distinguishes the programme is the edutainment layer folded into the fun: the Jurassicamp and Usina Reciclar 4D attractions are part of the ordinary rhythm of the day rather than an add-on. Evenings end in style with a themed dinner and a party, and the day's plan flexes with the weather, so there is always something happening from breakfast until the last snack of the night.

Acampark works to an average of one counsellor for every seven campers, and the counsellor team is chosen carefully and put through training so they can handle each child's individuality; a coordination and staff team stays on site for the whole session. A nurse is on duty full time in the infirmary, and any medication a child is taking must be handed over at check-in in its original packaging with the prescription. If medical care is needed, parents are contacted first to authorise treatment or come and collect their child, with the municipal hospitals of Charqueada and Piracicaba seven and twenty minutes away. The whole property is enclosed by fencing and vegetation and watched by a 24-hour security team. In the water park lifeguards supervise and the rule is simple and firm — water no deeper than shoulder height, even for strong swimmers, because the pools are for cooling off rather than sport. First-time campers have their settling-in followed closely by the counsellors, who encourage them into activities and call parents in as allies when a nudge from home would help.
Meals
dinner
Dinner is sometimes a themed dinner, with campers dressing up before the evening party.
snacks
An afternoon snack and a late-evening snack are both served, with juice and water always available.
Five meals a day come out of Acampark's own kitchen, so there is always fuel for the next game: breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner and a late-evening snack. The menu is deliberately varied, moving between white and red meats, pasta dishes, salads, desserts and seasonal fruit, with juice and water served freely at every meal. Soft drinks are the one exception and are bought separately at the camp shop. Evenings often turn the dining room into part of the programme, with themed dinners such as Gêmeos, Meia Divertida and Brega, and campers celebrating a birthday during the session are given their own celebration.
Screen time policy
Mobile phones are not used during the holiday session — the idea is that the programme and the new friendships take the place of screens, and families are asked to leave tablets, cameras, watches and other electronics at home, since the camp cannot take responsibility for valuables. Any camper who wants to hear a familiar voice can use a camp telephone at set times chosen so activities are not interrupted, and calls from parents to children are allowed too, although Acampark gently suggests letting the call come from the child as part of building independence. If needed, a camper can be taken out of the programme immediately to speak with home. Parents are not left in the dark: the team publishes the best moments daily in a private gallery and a profile reserved for camper families, so you can follow the week in pictures.

Bathrooms shared between rooms
Dormitories
Campers sleep in large, airy shared rooms set in the central part of the camp, close to everything that happens. Boys and girls are housed separately and rooms are put together by age, with no more than two years between roommates; long-standing friends can be kept together by naming them at the time of booking, as long as that age rule is respected. Beds include bunks made to Acampark's own specification, with the upper bed railed on both sides so falls are not possible and a capacity of up to 150 kg per bed. For privacy, the toilets and showers are individual enclosed cubicles rather than open facilities. Four recently opened collective lodges with solar-heated water add further overnight capacity, each with its own set of private sanitary facilities. Rooms also become part of the fun, since the Gincana dos Quartos judges how well each room is organised and dressed up for the themed events.
Countryside site on the Rodovia Hermínio Petrin in Charqueada, São Paulo state, about 20 minutes from Piracicaba, with the grounds enclosed by fencing and native vegetation and woodland trails around a lake.
Acampark describes itself as a theme park of edutainment, and the grounds feel like it: a water park with two pools and a big slide for cooling off, a zipline that flies out across the lake, a high ropes course, woodland trails and pitches for football and volleyball, all inside a fenced property watched around the clock. Two purpose-built attractions anchor the educational side — Jurassicamp, a journey back to the age of the dinosaurs, and Usina Reciclar 4D, presented as the country's largest Chromadepth attraction. Sleeping quarters sit in the central area of the camp, with four recently opened lodges adding solar-heated collective accommodation. Meals come from the camp's own kitchen, an infirmary sits on site, and a themed shop stocks souvenirs alongside sunscreen, repellent and toiletries.

Getting your child there
By car
Drive to camp (Charqueada)
Families who prefer to bring their child themselves drive to Rodovia Hermínio Petrin, Km 192,5, Bela Vista, Charqueada, about 20 minutes from Piracicaba; the camp suggests searching 'Acampark Edutretenimento' in Google Maps or Waze. Check-in at the camp runs from 15:00 to 16:00 on the first day, and check-out is at 14:00 on the last day. Parents who would like to see the site before booking can call the camp to arrange a one-hour guided visit for the family, though visits during a session are not permitted. · Rod.

Shuttle
IncludedChartered coach from São Paulo (Tietê Plaza Shopping)
Pickup service · Departure is from Tietê Plaza Shopping, Av. Raimundo Pereira de Magalhães 1465, using Doca G2 — the G2 car park gives the easiest access to the check-in room, where campers are received from 13:00 with the voucher emailed to the family, and the coach leaves at 14:00. The journey takes around two and a half hours on chartered coaches with seatbelts, toilet, air conditioning and TV, and the counsellors start integration activities and an onboard snack service straight away, with a support car escorting the coaches the whole way. On the return, the coach reaches the same Tietê Plaza Shopping main gate at around 16:30. The transfer option must be chosen when booking, and families should note that campers arriving after the reporting time have to make their own way to camp.
Shuttle
Coach pick-up in Campinas (Shopping Serra Azul)
Pickup service · Campinas families can join the same coach as it passes on the way from São Paulo, boarding at Shopping Serra Azul at Km 70 of the Rodovia dos Bandeirantes; check-in takes place in the service-station forecourt opposite Burger King, with campers presenting themselves at 14:30 before the coach picks them up and continues to camp. On the return journey the coach reaches Shopping Serra Azul on the São Paulo-bound side at around 10:00. The boarding point must be selected at the time of booking, as the camp offers two pick-up and drop-off locations.
