Camps in English

Selwo Adventure has prepared two innovative leisure activities for enjoying an unforgettable summer in the heart of nature: the Selwo Adventure Camps and the Selwo Adventure English Camps, two exclusive and fun ways to spend some well-deserved holidays after the school term in a unique setting in the heart of nature.

The Selwo Adventure Summer Camps, in Estepona, on the Costa del Sol, are aimed at youngsters between the ages of 8 and 17. They include a qualified group of monitors, with extensive and solid training in the field of environmental education, entertainment and leisure. The Camps in English also provide two daily hours of classes, especially designed to learn English in a fun and pleasant manner.

Boys and girls actively participate in all the programmed activities in both Camps. A healthy and fun way to spend free time going on outings at Selwo Adventure, enjoying adventure activities, games and all in the company of other youngsters of similar ages. The Camps have specially designed classrooms for Nature-related activities, with all the materials necessary for learning about Flora and Fauna. The kids will attend mini-courses, workshops, watch a variety of audiovisual material… and always in a fun and entertaining manner. The Camps also have a refreshing swimming pool for the exclusive use of the youngsters participating in the summer programmes.

The Summer Camps provide a wide range of adventure activities, such as sliding down Ziwa, the longest fixed zipwire in Europe, travelling across the Hanging Bridges on the Route of the Valleys or practising archery, always under the supervision of expert monitors.

The Camps are located in the Kenya and Zulu Villages, in Nature’s Portico at Selwo Adventure, the first of the Selwo Adventure routes.

ABOUT US:

The Park has four different zones. Nature’s Portico, the first of its routes, is populated with lush tropical and subtropical vegetation, with Africa’s Lake. In the Central Village lives Kanvar, the only Asian elephant born in Spain, a giant baby that this summer turns two years of age. As well as the Bengal Tigers enclosure, the Night Grotto which hosts different species of nocturnal habits such as the Eurasian Eagle Owls, Fruit Bats, Porcupines… and nearby, in the Reserve of the Lakes, animals as emblematic of African and Asian fauna as elephants, giraffes, zebras, white rhinos or different antelope species. The Route of the Valleys conveys us to a rugged land populated by species of Asian and Eurasian origin, camels, brown bears and the lion, King of African fauna. And the last route is the Canyon of the Birds, with an extensive variety of birds from different continents.

In each of these zones the youngsters can enjoy leisure facilities which combine adventure and nature-related activities in a fun and educational manner.
