About 4 Elements Galicia

4 Elements Galicia is run by husband-and-wife founders Francis Heybrook and Diana Díaz, who met studying Hispanic and Iberian Studies at University College London and spent over fifteen years restoring an abandoned stone farmhouse in remote north-west Galicia into a purpose-built base for camps, courses and events. Francis is a Forest School Leader and CELTA teacher certified in Forest School and Paediatric First Aid and as an Open Water Lifeguard, with more than twenty years working with children; Diana, a former educational publishing editor, is creative director. Their small year-round team includes a summer camp manager with over twenty years in theatre and international camps and a Montessori teacher trainer, supported by monitors trained in-house in first aid, emotional intelligence and bushcraft safety.

What families say

Yoko Arai

“Fantastic outdoor location in a beautiful Galician forest — perfect for anyone wanting to immerse in pure nature, breathe clean air, and feel truly nourished. The camp offers a handmade, thoughtful curriculum with amazing activities such as canoeing, surfing, hiking, swimming in the river, sleeping in tents, and creating outdoor theatre. The staff are warm, engaging, and inspiring. Our kids not only learned English and Spanish, but also opened up socially, enjoying communication with everyone and connecting with different cultures. This is by far the best summer camp our kids have ever experienced. Thank you, Francis and the whole team — 5 thumbs up!”

“We were so fortunate to find 4Elements and Francis and Diana! Our older daughter (8) attended the overnight camp and our younger daughter (5) attended the day camp. They both loved the experience, as did we for them! A small size, in a beautiful place, with wonderful people, fostering independence (for our older one especially!) and more exposure in a natural setting to Spanish. We are hoping very much to be able to bring them back!”
