Cultural activities are an integral part of the Camp Sol Spain experience, providing the student further exposure to the language and cultural facets of the country.
Cultural activities are an important part of the experience. You will learn so much by going to classes but you’ll learn just as much, if not more, outside of the classroom. These activities are designed to enhance your experience and show you more of what the site has to offer! Your director will announce the weekly cultural activities every week during your meetings. For summer programs there are 3 cultural activities a week.
The program may change slightly depending on the circumstances of the internal organization of the course, the meteorological conditions and any other circumstances that may complicate the completion of the stated program.
