School Facilities: Barcelona Summer Camp is located at the foot of Tibidabo Mountain, one of the nicest residential districts. It is only 20 minutes away from the city center and is accessible by public transportation. The camp consists of two main sections: a residence where the students stay plus another section where the classes are held. The school has its own kitchen, two large dining halls, sports facilities and a pool.

The residential facilities include: cafeteria, video/TV room and a game room. Participants are housed in a separate residence facility, 2 to 4 participants will share a dorm room. Shared bathrooms are very large with separate stalls for the sinks, toilets and showers. About 80% of the bedrooms have a private bath. All meals are provided in the school's dining halls and/or cafeteria.

Activities/Excursions: Participants will have a range of afternoon and evening activities free of charge to choose from. These include: many sports activities (soccer, basketball, volleyball), recreational activities (treasure hunts, camp discos, music shows) and cultural workshops (cooking, theatre, dance & journalism). Weekend excursions are also included in the program.

Lodging & Meals: Dormitory/residence with 3 meals/day

Supervision: This summer camp program is a very structured program with many activities. Free time each day is built into the camp schedule. However, most participants are not able to leave the camp premises unaccompanied and must abide by camp staff rules and regulations pertaining to lights out, policies and procedures, etc. There will be a camp counselor available for every group of 10 to 12 students. The counselor will remain with the group on a 24 hour a day basis and will take care of any individual needs each participant may have.

Highlights

From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.

Barcelona offers the best of both worlds: beach-side fun and all the cultural attractions of one of Europe's most admired cities. A hub for fashion, design, music, cuisine and the arts. It also provides a great opportunity for young people to discover the peculiarities of Catalonia and Catalan culture, gaining a unique understanding of Spain's regional differences.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
