International Summer Camps

Chester College International Summer Camps in Spain combine language immersion, sports, creativity and cultural exploration in a safe and welcoming environment. With more than 40 years of experience, our family-run camp welcomes international campers for a summer of learning, adventure and friendship. Many families return year after year: around 70% of our campers come back, and half of them attend for four summers or more, creating a strong sense of community and lasting friendships. Campers can choose between two language programmes: English or Spanish. Both follow a communicative teaching approach designed to maximise exposure to the language through interaction, participation and real-life communication. Morning classes are dynamic and engaging, taught in small groups by native-speaking teachers, helping campers build confidence and fluency in a natural and enjoyable way. English International Summer Camp Campers develop their English while taking part in a vibrant programme of sports, outdoor activities and creative projects. A highlight of the programme is the Musical Project, where campers rehearse and perform a musical production together during camp. Participants may also choose to sit an official Trinity College London English exam onsite at the end of their stay. Spanish International Summer Camp Designed for campers who want to learn or improve their Spanish while experiencing everyday life and culture in Spain. Morning Spanish classes follow the same communicative methodology and are led by native Spanish-speaking teachers who encourage active participation and practical communication. After the morning language programme, campers from both language strands come together to enjoy the full programme of sports, games and activities, creating a lively international atmosphere. The camp offers a wide range of sports and outdoor adventures, including water activities such as surfing and canoeing, as well as team games, workshops and evening events. At weekends, campers enjoy excursions across the beautiful region of Galicia, visiting places of cultural and recreational interest and exploring some of the area’s spectacular sandy beaches. On Sundays, campers who wish may also attend Mass locally. Located in green northern Spain, Galicia offers a particularly pleasant summer climate, with long sunny days and comfortable temperatures that are ideal for outdoor activities and exploration. Both the English and Spanish camps are available as Day Camp or Residential (Boarding) programmes, offering flexibility for local families as well as international campers. Chester College Summer Camps combine language immersion, creativity, sports and cultural exchange, creating an unforgettable summer experience in Spain.
