COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
In addition to the specific football activities described above, at the JARAMA & ATLÉTICO DE MADRID FOOTBALL CAMP children will enjoy lots of different outdoor activities.
Examples include kayaking on the Jarama River, working with farm animals, traditional craft workshops, food production (gathering, processing and cooking), trails through the riverside forest, and many more activities that the kids themselves will propose and enjoy.
Constant contact with nature instils in campers an awareness of and respect for it, as well as fostering enhanced self awareness. It also furnishes them with very positive emotional attributes, with a view to their comprehensive development.
DAILY EXERCISE
WE NEED IT
The importance of movement, exercise and sports leads us to dedicate time daily to different team sports and games of different characteristics.
DAILY SWIMMING
Every day we will have a good time in the pool, with free play and fun-filled synchronised swimming tournaments!
HORSEBACK RIDING
All the kids will participate in 3 horseback riding sessions. An introduction, a practice session in the ring, and a ride.
SPORTS
In addition to the football camp, we will practice alternative sports that promote respect for one’s opponent, teamwork, and maximum participation by all. Some examples are ball-less football, kayak basketball, kickball, ultimate frisbee, archery and kayaking on the Jarama River.
GAMES
Games are an important part of the camp, as they foster group cohesion, and are also a lot of fun.
WE LOVE CHALLENGES
INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP
At the camp kids will enjoy a variety of multi-adventure activities. These are ideal challenges to hone their physical skills and abilities and their desire to excel, while developing both personal independence and teamwork capacities. They are ideal for shots of adrenaline and raising self-esteem.
TIBETAN BRIDGE, ARCHERY, INDOOR CLIMBING WALL, ZIP LINE, AND KAYAKING ON THE JARAMA RIVER!
FORGING FRIENDSHIPS
MAGICAL MOMENTS AT OUR NIGHTTIME GATHERINGS
Evening events full of action and movement. Night-time games are a very important part of the programme. Children not only give free rein to their imaginations, and overcome their fear of the dark, but this is also a time that brings the group together. Campers help each other, with older kids assisting younger ones, as they work as teams, support each other, and above all, have fun. This is an essential time at our summer camps for the kids, before relaxing and going to sleep.
Some of the evening events are even organised by the campers themselves!
THE FAIR
Each counsellor’s group creates an attraction or game, and develops it so that the rest of the children can enjoy it. And they, in turn, enjoy the attractions and games that their fellow campers have created during the day. They can earn “coins” to exchange for treats and juice!
HAUNTED HOUSE (HOUSE/MUSEUM FOR THE YOUNGEST CAMPERS)
The older campers prepare a spooky Haunted House! They spend all day working on it, creating a story, its characters, props, decorations, and everything involved in creating a spooky passage to receive the other campers on the night of the Fair.
A fantastically frightening time!
THE CASINO
A group of “almost big kids” prepares a night of games, betting and fun, at the Casino. They get everything ready! Roulette, blackjack, card games, and many other casino games for children to enjoy.
HOLLYWOOD NIGHT
The most eagerly awaited night ? The evening when many budding artists make their debuts. For days, each working group combines its strengths and exercises all its creativity to produce the very best performance it can. Some sing, others dance, some act out small plays, others juggle… all these talents shine on this night of Stars! Here you can see some of the most creative examples from this night.
MOVIE
What better way to relax after a day out on an excursion than to put on your pyjamas and watch a movie?
A FAREWELL FIESTA, WITH A SPECIAL DINNER AND A DISCO DANCE!
The camp comes to an end, and we want to go out on a high note! On the last night of camp there is a party with hamburgers and French fries after our waiters, the counsellors, put on their traditional farewell show for us. Don’t miss any of them. Click here!
