Description: Spanish Language and Sports Camp for Children in Marbella, Spain. Ages: 5 to 14 years of age.

For the past 18 years ENFOREX has offered Residential, Day Camp and other programs for young people who want to spend a unique summer in Spain.

Designed for both Spanish and international students between 5 and 14 years of age, Enforex Summer Camps offer a unique, international environment. This international program provides an environment where learning a language (with 15 hours of Spanish language lessons per week), and the inevitable cultural interchange enriches the experiences of each of our students. More than 60% of the students are Spanish nationals participating in English classes but then mixing with the foreign students for the cultural program and activities. The remaining participants come from over 32 foreign countries around the world.

The carefully selected staff present both course content and all other activities in an active and interesting manner. Always alert to the changing interests of the various age groups, and taking into account new developments in teaching/learning methodologies, the staff works towards a goal of building friendships between the participants and an active, secure participation in all the activities offered. Language classes, cultural and entertainment excursions, sports, workshops, parties, barbecues, contests, cultural presentations, ´Olympics´ and other activities are offered with the idea of making the students experience at Enforex camps unforgettable. Both our Spanish and international students are immersed 24-hours a day in a unique, culturally-diverse learning environment.

The Colegio Aleman Campus: The school is situated in the foothills that surround Marbella. The location has been developed into one of the most privileged overlooks in the area! The coastline of Morocco is visible on the horizon as it is only a few miles across the straits.
