don Quijote Commitment

experienCe

For the past 30 years, don Quijote has offered residential, Day Camp and Homestay programs for children and teenagers during the summer.

our staff members have an average 8 years experience working at our camps and are trained at our own camp Councilor School. in fact, a number of alumni have become our staff over the last few years.

superVision and 24 hour Care

our top priority is the campers’ safety and well-being. our staff oversees that each camper has a balanced diet or one adapted to their needs, that they follow a optimal sleep cycles and are attended immediately should their health require it.

Camp adVisors and personalization

our team of specialist advisors will recommend the camp or destination that best suits the characteristics of the person or his academic and recreational needs. in the same way, they will recommend a personalized itinerary of activities and trips so that the students will get the most out of his experience at our camps.

aCtiVities and exCursions

Camp activities done in multicultural groups instill the values of teamwork and individual responsibility while participants enjoy and have fun besides maximize social relationships and friendship between students.

on the other hand, we know that learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom, which is why our camps include excursions to immerse the campers in the Spanish way of life and feeling like locals.

experienCed staff and oWn methodology

our staff is made up of native Spaniards, 90% of whom speak english and other languages. the vast majority returns year after year, all united by the same goal: to make your child’s summer the most enjoyable possible! We want to help campers to develop their spoken and listening skills. We follow the european Framework for languages in terms of the skills we will be teaching, but these will be developed in a more natural setting by exploring how we use the language in practical situations.

multinational enVironment (60% spaniards)

our campers come from more than 32 countries, which creates a uniquely diverse environment for developing linguistic and interpersonal skills. By bringing together students from all over the world, these courses allow international youth to make Spanish friends their age, acquire a profound understanding of the Spanish way of life and increase their awareness of a variety of world cultures.

learning spanish and getting deep into spanish culture mixed with spanish students is a fascinating path for individual growth. through more than 30 years, we have learned much more: sharing in 32 nationalities, understanding the meaning of respect and mutual enrichment regardless any difference of race, age, country of origin. We are proud about don Quijote campers. and we are incredibly thankful about witnessing every year the birth of friendship relationships that will last beyond the Camp experience.

our summer Spanish and english language courses are organized into 20/25 lessons per week, with 4 to 5 lessons every day, Monday through Friday (except at the Marbella albergue Summer Camp, where students receive 25 lessons per week). each class has the duration of 45 minutes and we set a maximum of 14 students per class in order to ensure individualized attention. the carefully designed curriculum emphasizes conversation and communication, so that students may take full advantage of their surroundings and apply what they’re learning by speaking with friends during the rest of the day. the morning class hours are the only time when Spanish and international students are separated; they rejoin in the afternoon and at night for a variety of activities. the syllabi are 100% compatible with the u.S. credit system.

our spanish teachers

the success of all learning efforts depends on a teaching team trained and equipped to motivate their students. therefore we’ve carefully selected a highly qualified and energetic faculty for our camps. the Spanish teachers are all natives with at least 5-year university degrees in Spanish linguistics and teaching Spanish as a Foreign language. Most of them have a Masters and/or Doctorate in Spanish and all hold the CaP (Certificate of teaching ability). our summer camp faculty is experienced in teaching young people of various ages and implements a wide array of techniques and activities that speak to every age group and learning type.

6 levels

every student takes a placement test on the first day of classes in order to determine their language level. they are consequently placed into one of 6 levels, from very beginner to proficiency.

methodology

the language curriculum is designed keeping in mind at all times that we are a Summer Camp. in other words, classes are conceived to be sufficiently interesting and entertaining to motivate students to the fullest, but we simultaneously optimize class time by encouraging conversation and discussion in a serious and professional manner. our aim is for students to enjoy themselves while learning as much as possible in a short period of time. the methodology is centered on a communicative approach, utilizing diverse techniques to cover the fundamentals of language learning: grammar, speaking, listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing and inter-cultural competence.

teaching materials

our teaching materials are designed for each age group and subdivided into varying levels of linguistic competence. the kit, comprised principally of a text and workbook corresponding appropriately to each class, is issued to the student on the first day of the course. other multimedia audio-visual tools are also employed to present lessons and take full advantage of our modern facilities.

Certificate

each student will receive a certificate detailing accomplishments realized during his/her stay on the last day of the session.

learning a language has never been so much fun!

Camp staff

don Quijote carefully selects our camp coordinators, directors and “monitores” (Spanish for “counselor” or “coach”) based on their experience, expertise and, above all, dedication to the students. our staff is made up of native Spaniards, 90% of whom speak english and other languages. the vast majority return year after year, all united by the same goal: to make your child’s summer the most enjoyable possible!

majority return year after year, all united by the same goal: to make your child’s summer the most

Camp director

Besides the executive directors of don Quijote, the Camp Director at each site holds the highest level of responsibility. He/she works very closely with the coordinators and counselors to make sure the camp runs smoothly and attends to the needs of every member of the school.

Counselor Coordinators

one Coordinator is assigned to each of 3 categories: Kids, Junior and Senior, thus creating different campuses within the same facility. the

Coordinator works closely with the counselors/coaches to develop and supervise camp activities, as well as monitor student participation to ensure that each camper makes the most of their summer.

Counselors

one counselor is assigned to each group of 8-12 campers at every summer camp. they spend 24 hours/day with their group, act as mentors and tutors and take care of any needs or concerns the students may have. at the granada Junior Program, there will be 1

tutor for every 12-15 students. these tutors are available 24 hours a day and accompany students on all extracurricular activities. the counselor team is made up of qualified bilingual or Spanish tutors.

the rest of our staff

includes our logistics team and language professors.

staff and student care

our staffdon Quijote carefully selects our camp coordinators, directors and counselors based on their experience, expertise and, above all, dedication to the students. throughout the year, the camp coordination team is dedicated to adequately training the counselors for the summer. they are shown the camp’s philosophy and the dedication necessary to be a staff member at our camps.

in fact, some campers have even ended up becoming camp counselors at this school.

residential staythe residential stay embodies the essence of our summer language camp philosophy: by living and be mixed with 100% Spanish and international students, studying, playing and practicing languages together 24 hours a day in a totally multicultural environment, campers will learn interpersonal and linguistic skills to last a lifetime. When they choose our ‘star’ program, Spanish and international campers are only separated during the morning language classes. they’ll experience everything else together, from morning wake-up to sports, cultural workshops, recreational activities, excursions, meals and much more. it’s the perfect recipe for making life-long friends from all over the world! Please note that the dormitory capacity of each center differs, and that the Seville residence holds international students only.

mediterranean diet

Whole foods like cereals, lentils and nuts form an integral part of the Mediterranean diet. they are high in fiber, which aids your digestive system, and are far healthier, keeping you fuller for longer, than white bread and pasta. nuts make a great mid-morning or afternoon snack, although they are high in calories so you shouldn’t really eat more than a handful a day. they also contain natural and essential oils that help your hair and nails to shine!

aside from the warm sun, clear blue sea and soft sand, living on the Mediterranean coastline certainly has its advantages. all local food markets have fresh fish and seafood each morning lining their stalls, so there is no excuse for not consuming a healthy amount. oily fish, such as sardines and anchovies, which are caught in abundance off the Spanish coast, contain omega-3 fatty acids and are low in calories. omega-3 is excellent for your heart and brain, but bake, grill or cook your fish in olive oil, not butter!

speCial diets

our kitchens are equipped to prepare food for students with special dietary needs (vegetarian, allergies, etc). Simply notify us about special requirements upon enrollment and we will pass the information along to the camp directors and kitchen personnel.

taKe energy and keep healthy

did you know? our staff is trained to make sure every camper enjoys a healthy diet during their stay at our camps. We know that great food gives them the energy they need to have a great time every day!

our staff and cooks closely monitor each camper to make

sure his or her diet is balanced and complete. it’s time to

get a taste of spanish culture!

transportation

praCtiCal info

uniform

We suggest that students purchase the camp uniform package in order to avoid concerns over what to pack, losing or damaging personal items, etc. the package includes 5 t-shirts, 1 sweatshirt, 2 pairs of shorts and a baseball cap. You should order the uniform at least 10 days before the student’s arrival; it will be delivered to the student during the first day of camp.

permission to leave the grounds

Camp personnel and directors are aware that many of our senior campers enjoy a certain level of freedom at home and expect to be able to meet with friends and go off-campus in an unsupervised fashion. For this reason we allow our students a limited number of unescorted trips off-campus during each 2-week session. the specific days, frequency and times are determined by each camp director.

this is possible if and only if:

the student was born in 2000 or earlier (for 2016) and 2001 (for 2017).

the student submits a signed consent form from his/her parents.

*Marbella alemán is the only camp where this option is not available.

phones and e-mail

We know how important it is for you and your child to be able to keep in touch, so we’ve made it easy for campers to call home. every student will receive an don Quijote international calling card upon arrival that can be activated and charged with 5 € and up at the camp’s reception desk. don Quijote phone cards can be used from any telephone, whether a land line on-campus or an off-campus phone while students are on an excursion.

Campers may also use their cellular phones to call home, but only during the designated hours set by each camp. each facility has an emergency number in case you need to contact the camp director. We will send you this information one month before your child’s arrival. all 9 camps have computers with e-mail access.

laundry

our programs include laundry service once every two weeks. We ask that students bring a laundry bag and highly recommend marking your child’s full name on all personal articles.

pocket money

upon arrival, students may deposit their money in the camp bank for safekeeping and withdraw money as needed. each student’s group monitor will note deposits and withdrawals and keep an eye on the student’s spending habits, in order to help them budget their money. if you anticipate that your child will need additional money, it will be your responsibility to deliver said funds, because don Quijote cannot receive or deliver money to students at our camp sites.

medical assistance and insurance

each camp has a health center and 24-hour first aid care on-site to ensure the health and well being of the students. if your child has any chronic medical concerns, allergies, special dietary needs or other requirements, simply notify us in writing, preferably at the time of registration. if your child plans to bring their own medicine to the camp, please send it with him/her, along with full instructions on its correct use.

additionally, it may be advisable for the student to carry a medical report of their special needs from his/her doctor. all students in Spain are covered by a standard insurance for medical assistance, which is included in the price of the program. However if you would like a premium insurance policy, we advise you to purchase this in your own country.

Such documents will only be sent to cover the amount of course time initially contracted by the student. don Quijote will send out, free of charge and to any student who asks for them, the following documents (if and only if the total cost of the program has been paid): confirmation of the Spanish program chosen by the student; invoice for the total cost of the program in question (course + accommodation).

• In the event that the student should urgently need the originals of any of these documents, don Quijote will send them and charge the cost of the express mail to the student (Europe and USA: 45 €; East Europe: 75 €; rest of countries: 95 €).

• If a student visa is rejected don Quijote will charge the student 100 € per invitation letter sent, the 150 € deposit and the penalty will be the one explained in point c (cancellations/changes). The student must show don Quijote formal proof (original copy) that their visa application has been rejected in order to receive the refund. If this copy is not received by don Quijote, 100% of the cost of the program will be charged.

• Any refund from don Quijote will have a 10% charge.

ALTerATIonS And InCIdenTS In The ProGrAmdon Quijote is committed to providing customers all the contracted services contained in the program with all the stipulated conditions, however, you should be aware of the following considerations:a. In the event that, prior to the start of the program, don Quijote is forced to significantly modify an essential

element of the contract (including the price) don Quijote must immediately inform the customer, detailing the amendments and their impact on the program. The customer may choose to terminate the contract without charge or accept the modification in the contract. Customers must notify don Quijote of the decision taken at the earliest opportunity, and in any event, within 3 days of being notified of the change of program. In the event that the customer does not notify us with a decision within 3 days it will be understood that the customer opts out of the program without penalty.

b. In the event that don Quijote is forced to cancel one of its programs through no fault of the customer, or in the event that the customer chooses to terminate the contract due to the circumstances mentioned in the first paragraphs, don Quijote will offer an alternative program to equal or superior quality or refund the customer the entire amount paid to don Quijote for the program.

c. There shall be no obligation of any kind by don Quijote when cancellation is due to forced or sufficient cause (this means circumstances that are beyond don Quijote control and that are unavoidable, despite having acted with due diligence) or the cancellation was due to not having reached the minimum required number of people enrolled onto the program.

d. The differences and/or claims, according to the customer, arising during the program stage will be made know

to the organization responsible for the program in order to provide a satisfactory solution with immediate effect. In the event that the solution proposed by the organization is not satisfactory, the customer can file a written complaint to don Quijote within a period of 7 days. Once all relevant documentation has been obtained don Quijote have, in turn, a period of 7 days to respond to the complaint. The period shall run from the day the complaint is filed by the customer.

e. In the case of a complaint, don Quijote promises to act with due diligence to find the most satisfactory solution for the customer.

BIndInG ruLeS for ComPLIAnCe The customer should adapt and adhere to the customs, schedule and lifestyle the program presents. The customer agrees to abide by the rules of the organization, in particular rules regarding schedules, attendance, behavior and correct conduct with teachers, monitors, school staff and peers. Consumption of alcohol, tobacco and drugs are strictly forbidden. Failure to adhere to this code of conduct will result in expulsion from the program. If this is the case the customer will bear all the expenses incurred at his/her return, regardless of any other liability.

CIVIL LIABILITYdon Quijote has an accident and civil liability insurance policy that covers minor accidents that may occur within its centers. don Quijote is not responsible for the loss or theft of students’ personal property, for which we recommend you take out your own insurance policy. don Quijote merely acts as an intermediary between the insurance company and the consumers who partake in one of our programs.
