Study plan · Spanish camp for children in Málaga
Summer & Winter Camp
A full-immersion Spanish camp for children, during the summer and winter holidays. Each day combines morning classes with games, workshops, sports and excursions in the afternoon (between 4 and 6 hours a day), so children live the language naturally and have fun. A safe, multicultural setting in Málaga, with verifiable progress from A1 to B2 and an internal certificate aligned with the CEFR.
For children and teens: classes + culture 4 to 6 h a day summer and winter multicultural groups CEFR certificate
Learn by playing, live the language
The camp uses the holidays to immerse children in Spanish. It isn't a traditional course: they learn through play, culture and friendship, in daily blocks of 4 to 6 hours.
Mornings
Playful Spanish classes
Around 3 hours of role-plays, songs, drama and projects. Children practise vocabulary and structures without the stiffness of a formal course.
Afternoons
Culture and adventure
Around 2 hours of excursions, art workshops, gastronomy, music and sports. A treasure hunt through central Málaga or a guided museum visit, all in Spanish.
How much progress?
At camp, progress is measured in accumulated hours, not in complete levels: each camp adds a block of hours to the child's journey. Depending on length, this is the estimated progress within a basic level (A1 or A2).
| Length | Hours a day | Total hours | Estimated progress (CEFR) | Example content |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks | 4 h/day | 40 h | Partial module (≈ 1/3 of A1 or A2) | Basic vocabulary, routines, role-play |
| 3 weeks | 5 h/day | 75 h | Intermediate module (≈ 1/2 of A1 or A2) | Past-tense narration, likes and preferences |
| 4 weeks | 6 h/day | 120 h | Complete module (≈ a full A1 or A2 level) | More fluent speaking and writing, cultural projects |
A child might start a camp at A1, add 40 hours and complete the level at another camp or in regular classes. Levels C1 and C2 aren't recommended for children's programmes: the realistic goal is to reach B1 or B2 in the teenage years.

How they learn
A communicative, experiential approach that blends Spanish with the recreational and cultural activities of the season.
Playful learning
Games, songs, drama, crafts and sports. Spanish is learned naturally and with fun.
Cultural immersion
Museum visits, art workshops and traditional festivals. The language is lived in direct contact with Málaga's culture.
Multicultural friendship
Children of different nationalities share Spanish as a common language, in group projects that build cooperation.
Assessment
Assessment supports the learning without losing the camp's playful spirit: it is based on daily observation and creative activities, never on rigid exams.
Initial diagnostic
A short oral chat and a simple activity place the child at their level (A1 to B2).
Ongoing assessment
Teachers observe participation and use of Spanish daily, in games and excursions, with age-appropriate rubrics.
Final assessment
A final activity (a group presentation and a short quiz) and a certificate with the hours and competences achieved.
Certification
Internal certificate aligned with the CEFR
Each camp gives a certificate with the hours completed, the level worked on and the competences achieved. Blocks add up across camps (summer and winter) and regular classes.
Preparation for young-learner exams
For those who want official accreditation, paths with exam simulations adapted to young learners and supervised by the Academic Director.
