Summer Camp 2026

Introduction

This summer, at Gándara International School, we're opening our doors to an unforgettable experience: a unique camp where nature, play, and emotional development intertwine to offer each child a summer full of magic, discovery, and personal growth.

A Different Educational Approach

At Gándara International School, we believe that a bright future begins with a childhood lived to the fullest. Our camp is not just a leisure space, but a comprehensive educational experience, in an environment where children can:

• ✓Reconnect with nature and their own inner rhythm.
• ✓Discover the world through play, emotion, and curiosity.
• ✓Feel heard, accompanied, and respected.

Each day is an opportunity to grow, imagine, explore, learn, and share. This camp stems from Gándara International School's pedagogical commitment, integrating methodologies such as:

• ✓Education in nature (forest school and English learning)
• ✓STEM proposals to awaken logical and scientific thinking
• ✓Reading activities, stories, and creative writing to nurture language, expression, and imagination

A combination that drives both active learning and emotional and social development.

Weekly themed workshops

Workshops are not mandatory and may be modified based on participants.
