MOBILE PHONE POLICY AND FAMILY CONTACT:
We encourage participants to disconnect from mobile devices during the camp, ideally for the whole week or at least for several consecutive days. However, participants will have 30 minutes per day to contact their families during shower time, although this is not compulsory.
The camp coordination phone is reserved for emergencies only. Therefore, participants should bring their own device or arrange calls with friends during the established time slot. If a participant does not bring a device, scheduled call turns will be organised using a designated phone during the same time period. Depending on numbers, calls may last approximately 5–10 minutes each.
MEALS & NUTRITION
We place great importance on healthy eating habits. Meals are homemade, avoiding excessive saturated fats and sugars. Portions are appropriate for healthy nutrition, with the option to have seconds if still hungry. Ingredients are fresh and, whenever possible, locally sourced.
We carefully accommodate special diets (vegetarian, vegan, Muslim, etc.) and food allergies so that all participants feel safe and comfortable.
RESPONSABILITY & RESPECT
Respect is the main value we promote from the very first day. We encourage respect for the environment, materials, facilities and, above all, every person within the camp community — including respect towards oneself.
At these ages, we emphasise the importance of positive communication and respecting the rules of coexistence that everyone accepts upon joining. We also ask families to reinforce these values at home.
As this is a camp for minors, certain behaviours are strictly prohibited: smoking, alcohol, illegal drugs, abusive behaviour or any form of disrespect. Breaching these rules may result in immediate dismissal from the camp. If there are any concerns regarding this matter, they must be discussed with the coordinator before attending the camp.
EDUCATIONAL TEAM
The group is accompanied by a team of qualified monitors and a coordinator, all holding official Leisure and Youth Work qualifications and up-to-date Sexual Offences Clearance Certificates issued by the Spanish Ministry of Justice.
