For many people, understanding what OLÉ is can be a bit challenging, and that’s completely understandable—there’s simply nothing like it in the world of summer camps in Spain today.
​
OLÉ offers a groundbreaking service that connects local summer camps in Valencia designed for Valencian children with families seeking an authentic Spanish experience for their kids. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to immerse children in the Spanish language and culture in a completely local setting. We believe that the best way to enjoy a fun and real linguistic experience is to live like a local—speaking the language, embracing the culture, sharing the food, and engaging in daily life.
OLÉ is led by Paco and Paloma, two cousins deeply passionate about education. Both of us are primary school teachers, with firsthand experience of the needs and development of children. Having grown up together, we’ve always valued the importance of languages and the enriching experience of connecting with different cultures and societies.
As a family-run business, OLÉ is built on transparency, honesty, and a personal touch. We are committed to working directly with families to create meaningful and memorable experiences for their children.
Unlike traditional international camp models, OLÉ avoids the typical approach of studying Spanish as a subject for hours while surrounded by fellow students from your home country. Instead, we focus on learning through play and interaction with local children, significantly increasing the number of meaningful Spanish-language interactions.
At OLÉ, we carefully select the best summer camps in Valencia, known for their professionalism, fun, and excellent care of their students. In addition to the camp’s counselors, we provide our own dedicated staff to ensure that our international students and their families integrate seamlessly. To maximize language immersion, we limit the number of spots reserved for international students, ensuring they spend most of their time speaking Spanish.
Beyond day camps, we also offer a selection of residential camps for children who want to spend several days away from home. These camps are primarily attended by Spanish children, guaranteeing both a cultural and linguistic immersion alongside fun-filled experiences.
One of OLÉ’s standout features is our personalized attention to families. We offer video consultations to help families choose the perfect summer camp based on their child's specific needs. Additionally, we welcome families upon arrival in Valencia, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. We even organize weekly social events for visiting families to connect, build friendships, and plan activities together. We are passionate about Valencia and love helping others discover our city from a local perspective—one that’s open, welcoming, and respectful of traditions and community life.
Valencia is a vibrant city, open to the world and rich in cultural and social diversity. At OLÉ, we are strong advocates for inclusion and respect for ethnic minorities, and we ensure that this is reflected in every camp we offer.
With over three years of experience, we are confident in the need to continue providing professional, personalized care that meets the needs of every family. Our goal is to create unforgettable experiences that students will want to relive year after year.
Join us and let your children discover the magic of Valencia through OLÉ!
