Spanish Summer Camp for Teens in Spain

I thought that the teachers were all very friendly and made me feel included and welcome. The activities were perfect for my age group and all very fun. The accommodation was very nice, however the only negative thing was the food wasn’t very good.

first off i wanted to thank everyone that has acompanied me during my time on the malaga expanish camp. ive met dozents of new friends from all over the world and i couldnt have imagined my summer without them however there were some things that could be improved to a higher standard to make my and other future goers experience even better. the most crutial of these and the one im gonna start my critique with has to be the food. OMG the food was horendous(with some exaptions i must admit) that i barely ever ate it. IN FACT, although it could be argued that it is inaproriete to speak of I engaged in a ritual of release every 3 DAYSSS. The only other annoyance i have been aware of during my stay was the "suite" i was inhibiting. although it wasnt a complete dissaster it didnt live up to my expectations i expected more but maybe thats my fault. however i dont want anyone to think porly of this experience because of this review the bottom line is that i think very highly of this camp and everyone involved in it and i have to say that i remember every moment of it with joy in my heart.

I made lots of great friends, the accommodation was really nice. Food was very good and we did a good variety of activities. All the staff were lovely and supportive. Spanish teachers were very good.

Dear Expanish-Team, I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent two-week Spanish summer camp that our son, Leonid, attended. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations at all, and we feel that the program does not justify its high cost. According to our son’s feedback, the camp was highly disorganized, and the actual learning outcome was minimal. Most importantly, the camp failed to create an immersive atmosphere. Instead of encouraging the students to converse in Spanish, the primary language spoken among them turned out to be English. It felt much more like an English camp than a Spanish one. Given the high price we paid, we expected a well-structured, educational, and immersive program. Since it was expensive, chaotic, and lacked educational value, we will unfortunately not be able to recommend your camp to other parents. Sincerely, Alexander

My daughter Ayla really enjoyed the experience - however there were a few aspects which she mentioned that could be improved. 1. I think more emphasis on speaking Spanish between the young people would be appreciated - they often conversed in English. 2. As a vegetarian she struggled to eat nice meals during the day - on various occasions the restaurants selected were shwarma places etc which had a poor vegetarian offer so she just had salad and chips. 3. As an additional payment, we paid 30 euros for a textbook - however when I asked her about this, she said she wasn't given any textbooks to supplement her learning. In summary, she had a good time and made friends, but I don't think her Spanish improved greatly and she wasn't given support materials to track her progress.

My 15 year old son did this program for only a week and had an overall good experience. He had a lot of good things to say about the people and the program. His only negative comment was about the food. He said the food wasn't very good and a lot of the kids would supplement the food with snacks from the store. He also got food sick near the end which wasn't a lot of fun for the last few days. Overall a good experience, but it sounds like there could be some improvement in the food quality.

Our 3 kids joined the 4 weeks Expanish summercamp 2026. We were worried at first and later on were very relaxed as everything were very organized and easy for them. They travel alone from the USA to Madrid. They tell us many fun stories but the thing jump out are the new friendship they have build with so many international camper from Germany, Italy, Russian, England etc. And if anybody ask them about the camp, the answer is "they love it and had the best summer ever!!!".

I had a great experience with my friends in the Malaga Summer Camp. Although i was a bit too old for the activities, that the staff provided, I still had fun during some. I met awesome people and made many new friends.

My daughter of 13 did her first language camp in foreign country, of course, as parent, I was very much worried whether all would go well, especially her safety. So I booked one week for her. I am very glad that everything was well-arranged, and very safe. My daughter would like to stay longer , she learned new friends , the language and the culture there. Her classmates were from different countries and they had wonderful time together.

All of the staff were so kind and generous. The activities were super fun to do and the Spanish classes were really helpful and enjoyable. Everyone at the camp was so kind and helpful. The entire process was really easy.

Hello, I highly recommend the Expanish Malaga, Spain, summer camp, especially a two week experience. This camp exceeded our expectations for both the Spanish learning and cultural experience. The native teachers and the camps specific speaking workshops go above and beyond and both my sons learned with such comprehension and ease. The cultural field trips, restaurants, sports, and fun activities were diverse and so much fun for my boys. This was our sons, ages 13 and 15, first 2 week overnight summer camp and they keep thanking us for allowing them to go. Upon my son’s return to school their teachers were so impressed by their Spanish speaking, writing, comprehension abilities. Both my sons are talking Spanish much easier at home and school. My youngest her son took a placement exam at school and skipped two levels of Spanish to Spanish 3 honors. My older son is in his final AP year and says his class is already easier because of this camp! We owe a big thank you to Expanish Malaga teachers and camp staff for an unforgettable and edifying experience. We highly recommend it and definitely go for a minimum of two weeks for the best and most optimal immersion and learning experience.

Excellent summer camp. The staff were so good and helpful, especially Katrina, Axel and Fernanda. They made the week so fun and special. Thank you to them all. The activities were well organised and the staff made them even better,

aswell as improving my grammar, speech and understanding in spanish, I had a great time on activitys, excursions and free time. met a lot of new people and had a lot of fun with them and interacting with others

We had a wonderful experience with Expanish! Communication was excellent from the time we enrolled and throughout the entire program. They were always very responsive whenever we emailed with questions, and everything was extremely well organized. The paperwork was easy to complete electronically. We dropped our 14 year old son off and picked him up in person, so we also had a chance to see the facilities and meet the staff. The facilities were clean, modern, and well maintained, and the counselors were very friendly and welcoming in person. Most importantly, our son had a great time. He attended just one week this summer and enjoyed it so much that he’s already asked to go back for three weeks next summer. I think that says it all! We would definitely recommend Expanish!

Not a first time my kids attend sleep away camp in Europe, Everything was great from step one. My communication with admissions was prompts, clear and informative. Cost is very low in comparison to many other places. Spanish lessons are appropriate with different levels and were challenging enough. Accomodations are wonderful, in a new dorm building with 2 person occupancy rooms and private bathroom. Kids appreciates a lot of independence with good security. Counselors were very responsive and accommodating. Kids got accustomed with subway, old city, shopping, beaches etc. After lesson hours were filled with appropriate activities that could have been a bit better timed but overall kids liked it. Made many friends and plan to join it next year! Hope there won't be changes to worse, such a huge price increase or drop in activities quality. Thanks a lot!

As a parent I would like to thank your Organization for this great program my daughter has attended this summer. She enjoyed it a lot, made new friends, experiences, have seen beautiful places and forgot about us completely LOL. I am happy for this opportunity we shared and feel lucky we trusted Expanish. I recommend this program for every teen who look forward to socializing with foreigners of the same age and wants to spend valuable time during summer, full of fun and social activities! Te deseo todo lo mejor!

Fun few weeks in Barcelona. Staff and counselors were wonderful and had a good time with other kids. Enjoyed the excursions but would have preferred seeing some famous landmarks from inside and not just outside. Food except for a handful of meals was not very good and could be improved. Accommodation was comfortable and it was fun hanging out in the common areas and around.

The only problem was that two weeks were not enough for the fun had. Amazing experience. Best people, best location. Looking forward to going again to expanish next year. Leaving the place was difficult.

Overall very good experience, as the classes were very good and the excursions were good, however, the accommodation was small, which is understandable as it is Barcelona but still a bit uncomfortable and some of the activities were not as expected and uninteresting to most of us. The experience was fantastic and i would definitely recommend to others.
