English Camp at Home

Your home. Their friends. In English

You get 4 to 9 of your child’s friends together and we bring the whole camp to your home: native teachers, programme, workshops and materials. No travelling, no settling into a new group, and in your usual neighbourhood.

Cooking, crafts, science experiments and gardening workshops, plus outings around your own neighbourhood. For children and teens aged 3 to 17, mornings or afternoons, and available in every school holiday of the year.

Total English immersion with creative workshops and activities at home and outdoors

You set up the group, we bring the camp

It’s the simplest format of all, and also the most popular. You talk to three to five families from school or the neighbourhood, decide on the weeks and hours, and we turn up at your home with the team, the full programme and all the workshop materials.

It’s designed for families who can’t bring their children to our centre, or who simply prefer something in their own neighbourhood. It also works really well for groups of friends who want to spend the holidays together and improve their English at the same time.

The advantage for children is twofold: they’re in a familiar place with people they know. There’s no settling-in period and no initial shyness, which means they start speaking English from day one instead of the third session.

Total immersion, even in your living room

Even though children don’t physically travel to another country, the immersion during the camp at home is total, because only English is spoken all day: in the activities, the classes and the workshops.

We also make the most of every moment of the routine to introduce new vocabulary, practise expressions and learn to communicate in situations as they come up. Lunchtime, free play or snack time give as much material as a prepared workshop.

That variety of situations is what completes the immersion of the multi-themed workshops and outdoor activities. And in a group of four to eight children, nobody can hide behind anyone else: everyone speaks.

Workshops and outings around your neighbourhood

In all of them we do varied and entertaining projects, always in English, that lead children towards learning the language without it feeling like a class.

Among the favourite activities are the neighbourhood outings. We make the most of the good weather with activities outside, which give lots of chances to practise vocabulary and expressions different from those at home: the market, the park, the square.

That time outdoors gives children the sunshine and fresh air they love so much, which benefits both their learning and their health in general.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the camp at home

What parents ask most before booking. If you still have questions, write to us.

How does the camp at home work?

You organise a group of between 4 and 8 children, usually friends from school or the neighbourhood, and tell us the weeks and hours. We bring the native teachers, programme, workshops and materials to your home.

Who finds the other children?

Usually the host family sets it up with other families they already know. If you can't reach the minimum of 4, write to us: we can look at options.

How much does it cost?

The price depends on the group, the number of days and the area. Write to us with your details and we'll send you a quote.

How many children can there be?

Between 4 and 8. It's the smallest group in our whole range, which means lots of attention per child and everyone speaks in every activity.

What ages is it for?

From age 3 to 17. We adapt the activities to the group's age, so it works just as well with young children as with teenagers, changing the type of workshop and the level of independence.

What hours do you offer?

The usual slots are 9 am to 1 pm and 3 pm to 7 pm, but they can be adjusted. Tell us what suits you.

When in the year can I book it?

In every school holiday: summer, Christmas, February half-term and Easter. It's booked by the week and the weeks don't need to be consecutive.

How far do you travel?

We work in Barcelona and the surrounding area. Tell us your neighbourhood or town and we'll confirm availability.

What do we need at home?

Space for the group to work and move around. We bring all the workshop materials.

My flat isn't very big. Does it still work?

Yes. A good part of the day is spent outside, with outings around the neighbourhood, to the park or the market. Your home is the base, not the place where they spend all seven hours.

Are the teachers native speakers?

Yes. The team is native or native-level, with teacher training and experience running camps, which isn't the same as teaching a class. Both are needed here.

How do I book?

Write to us through the form on this page, by WhatsApp or by phone, telling us how many children there would be, their ages, the weeks you're interested in and your neighbourhood. With that we'll send you a proposal.
