School Information

Marbella Residential Summer Camp is offered on the outskirts of Marbella, an exclusive resort town on the south coast of Spain. Three campus are offered, divided by age group and all of which are close to the beach. The facilities differ with each campus but include classrooms, dining area, common areas and a wide array of sport facilities.

Capacity is 120-210 residential students.

Supervision: There will be a camp counselor available for every group of 10 to 12 students. The counselor will remain with the group on a twenty-four hour a day basis and will take care of any individual needs each participant may have. Each counselor will coordinate the sports and activities for the group to participate in. The counselor will always accompany their assigned group on the excursions organized by the camp off of campus grounds. An entire team of camp employees consisting of group coordinators, head counselors and their staff, and teachers will oversee the day-to-day care, activity and learning for each participant. The Director and Head Coordinator of the summer camp are present daily and supervise the camp staff to ensure a safe and active learning environment for all camp participants.

Participants will room in a dormitory located on the camp premise. Dormitory rooms are assigned according to age and sex and will have 6-12 students per room

This is a very structured program with many activities. Free time each day is built into the camp schedule, however most participants are not able to leave the camp premises unaccompanied and must abide by camp staff rules and regulations pertaining to lights out, policies and procedures, etc.
