International Junior Summer Spanish Language Camp in Granada, Spain. |
Special Junior Program for Teens in Granada
14 to 18 years old
Granada is a picturesque city ideally set at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and just 45 minutes from the "Costa Tropical". It's a great place for youngsters to discover many of the highlights of Spanish culture, from incredible relics of the past like the Royal Chapel and stunning Alhambra to signature traditions like flamenco and tapas.
Granada's moderate size makes it an exciting yet manageable city for students to explore.
Age Group: From 14 to 18 years old.
Our Special Junior Program for Teens in Granada is designed for students 14 to 18 years old who would like to spend a summer learning Spanish in Spain, with 2 key differences from our traditional summer camps:
- International students only. First, these programs are for international students only, and activities are not shared with Spaniards.
- The entire city as a campus. Second, the Junior Program is not held on an all-in-one campus. Instead, students live, eat and sleep in a residence hall or with a host family, and attend morning Spanish classes at a nearby school.
The program includes one "tutor" for every 12-15 students, providing 24 hour supervision. The tutor will accompany the students on all extra-curricular activities, including one excursion per 2-week session, and afternoon activities around the city.
Facilities: Classes are held in a school near the residence hall, and both are conveniently located in the center of Granada.
The Granada residence features: private in-room bathroom or washbasin and shared bath/shower room; in-room telephones. satellite TV, video and stereo in the living rooms.
Capacity: 180 students.
Accommodations: Dorm rooms for 2 to 4 students per room. Laundry service is included.
In addition to the Residential Stay in the Camp, we also offer a Day Camp and a Home Stay programs.
- Is your family going to be in Spain for the summer? If so, the Day Camp may be a right choice for you and your children. This option is designed so campers can attend all camp activities during the day and return to their families at night. Day Camp students take part in all the same classes, sports, workshops, excursions, etc. with residential students from about 9.15 AM to 8.00 PM, but they will stay with their families at night and on the weekends. Lunch and snack are included. Transportation to and from the Camp is optional.
- Students 14 years old and up can choose to become a part of a Spanish host family. From 9:15 AM to 8:00 PM they also participate in all camp activities and return to their host families every night. This program does not include weekends at the Camp. Instead, the students spend this time with their host families.

Granada Photo Tour
The city of Granada has been shaped by the hills, where the old districts in the Albaicín and the Alhambra were founded, brimming with steep, narrow streets, beautiful nooks and crannies, and marvelous landscapes. The new part of the city is situated on the plain, crisscrossed by the large arteries of Gran Vía de Colón and Calle de los Reyes Católicos, and where the busy streets around the Cathedral are found.

Granada is the capital of the province with the same name, situated in the eastern part of the region of Andalusia. Geographical and scenic diversity charactizes the land. There is the coastal area with its warm climate; the extensive, fertile Genil plain; and the mountainous regions with a colder climate, where we find the 3,481 meter Mulhacén, the biggest peak on the peninsula of Spain. The city of Granada is located at the foot of the sierra Nevada mountains at the confluences of the Darro and Genil rivers. Its unique history has bestowed it with an artistic grandeur embracing Moorish palaces and Christian Renaissance treasures. As the last Moorish capital on the Iberian peninsula, it also holds great symbolic value.

The Moors crossed the strait of Gibraltar in 711 and settled in what was then a small Visigoth town perched atop the Alhambra hill. Here they settled, erected walls and laid the foundation for the prosperous civilization that would follow. It was in the 9th century when Granada rose to importance after the fall of the Caliphate of Córdoba. Its splendor was reached in 1238, when Mohammed ben Nasar founded the Nasrid dynasty, and the kingdom of Granada stretched from Gibraltar to Murcia. This dynasty bore twenty kings until King Boabdil was forced to surrender Granada to the Catholic monarchs, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, in 1492. During three centuries, a magnificent and rich Islamic culture flourished, leaving Granada with architectural marvels of the caliber of the Alhambra, declared a World Heritage Site, along with the Generalife and the Albaicín.
