What to expect?
Hand-picked accommodations
We've handpicked accommodations for every budget—from family apartments to private pool villas—all close to our kids' camps and stunning beaches. Want extra comfort? We can arrange a private cook too.
Multilingual Nature & Art Camp
(2-8 years)
Led by caring, experienced multilingual educators kids aged 2–9 explore nature through our Multilingual Nature & Art Camp —with scavenger hunts, creative crafts, guided trail walks, and sensory play.
Outdoor-Sports Teen Camp (8-13 years)
Teens get four action-packed mornings (Monday and Tuesday plus Thursday and Friday, 9 AM–2 PM) of tennis, mountain biking through pine forests, coastal hiking, and horseback riding. Led by experienced coaches who prioritize safety and fun, this camp builds confidence, resilience, and camaraderie through adventure.
Parents' Time to Reconnect & Breathe
While your children thrive in our camp, reconnect with yourself. Join yoga classes, hike or bike the renowned Fisherman's Trail along Costa Vicentina, catch waves at Arrifana beach, or simply unwind by the pool with a book, soak up the sun, or savor coffee at Aljezur's charming cafés.
