Наш лагерь возглавляет команда опытных руководителей и преподавателей, которые работают вместе, чтобы обеспечить безопасный, организованный и приятный отдых для всех отдыхающих. К конкретным группам студентов закрепляются кураторы, которые следят за их самочувствием и деятельностью в течение дня, в том числе в свободное время и на экскурсиях. Все студенты находятся под присмотром во время всех мероприятий, включая питание и вечерние развлечения.

Наши сотрудники тщательно отбираются с учетом их квалификации и опыта. Преподаватели сертифицированы в области преподавания испанского языка как иностранного, а руководители мероприятий обладают навыками работы с молодежью и имеют опыт работы в соответствующих областях (спорт, танцы, культурная деятельность). Все сотрудники должны продемонстрировать знание английского или испанского языка и пройти соответствующую подготовку для выполнения своих функций.

Да, проверка анкетных данных проводится для всех сотрудников, чтобы обеспечить безопасность и благополучие наших студентов. Это включает в себя проверку судимости и рекомендации от предыдущих работодателей для проверки их пригодности для работы с детьми.

Мы обеспечиваем постоянное обучение наших сотрудников в таких областях, как безопасность детей, первая помощь, преподавание языков и культурная чувствительность. Сотрудники регулярно проходят семинары по повышению квалификации, чтобы повысить свои навыки и быть в курсе лучших практик преподавания, контроля и поддержки различных групп студентов.

Мы стремимся способствовать созданию инклюзивной среды, в которой прославляется разнообразие. Мы приветствуем студентов со всего мира и гарантируем, что каждый, независимо от его происхождения, чувствует себя уважаемым и ценным. Наши мероприятия и программы направлены на поощрение межкультурного обмена и взаимопонимания.

У нас есть четкий кодекс поведения, которого должны придерживаться все студенты и сотрудники. Это включает в себя уважительное поведение, соблюдение правил лагеря и поддержание позитивной и инклюзивной атмосферы. Протоколы безопасности охватывают все аспекты лагерной жизни, включая безопасность деятельности, безопасность путешествий и действия в чрезвычайных ситуациях. Эти протоколы регулярно пересматриваются и обновляются.

Чтобы гарантировать, что учащиеся в полной мере участвуют в мероприятиях лагеря и социальном взаимодействии, у нас есть ограничения на использование мобильных телефонов. Студентам разрешается пользоваться телефонами в специально отведенное свободное время, но во время занятий и мероприятий их следует держать в своих комнатах или безопасных местах, чтобы их не отвлекали.
