Programme 2009
This year's programme offers students the option of a 2 or 3 week stay and older students once again have the opportunity to join our Youth Leadership programme and our young adult students to participate in our Club 18+ programme.

Our Jewish summer camp programme combines optional Spanish or English language classes run by professional teachers, with sports, watersports, art and beach activities, nightly entertainment and trips to places of interest and fun.

At Camp España, Europe’s leading Jewish summer camp, you will spend an unforgettable summer in guaranteed sunshine, learning a new language, meeting new friends from around the world all in a strictly kosher environment.

New for 2009 is the introduction of our 12 -13 age group. Whilst all 12 and 13 year old students will participate in our daily programme, this age group will have their own specific monitors and will be accompanied on all outings and excursions

Youth Leadership Programme
F
or all participants aged 16 and above. The programme focuses on developing skills such as time management, goal setting, presentation skills and team work .

Club 18+
Specially tailored for our 18 - 21 year old students, our Club 18+ programme combines fun, freedom and learning.

Tour of Granada's Alhambra Palace
This year we are again offering students the opportunity of a day visit to the world famous Alhambra Palace in Granada. This 12th century Moorish Palace is extremely popular with tourists so places are limited and must be booked in advance.

Tour of Seville
New for 2009 we are offering a day trip to Seville. Seville lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir and is one of the largest historical centres in Europe . The Jews have played a prominent part in Seville's history since the 4th Century and enjoyed great prosperity until the end of the 14th Century. The entire Jewish neighbourhood of Santa Cruz appears to be a movie set of a picturesque Andalucian village, and is located right next to the Royal Palace, the Alcázar .

Shabbat Program
To enhance Shabbat we enjoy the company of a visiting Rabbi who creates a wonderful atmosphere through singing and optional discussion groups . On Friday evenings we have our special outdoor service overlooking the Mediterranean sea followed by a special Shabbat dinner. On Shabbat there is a full service for those who wish to attend, Kiddush by the pool side followed by Shabbat lunch. At nightfall we celebrate Havdalah under the stars.

Resident Directors
Brian and Patricia, our resident multi-lingual Camp Directors will oversee our 2009 summer programme together with our resident team of talented and dedicated international monitors who are on call 24 hours a day.

As always, we are proud to print below comments from our 2008 students.We never forget that the mark of our continued success is the satisfaction of our students, many of whom return to us year on year
