We are a friendly company that runs immersion camps in English, we are located in an amazing place surrounded by nature. Our camp La Toma del Agua is situated 7 minutes away by car from Riopar, a village near Albacete (Spain).
These English immersion camps are programs that welcome groups of students from all over Spain. We look after them for five days (from Monday to Friday) and encourage them to improve their English through fun and active classes. This also includes physical outdoor activities, gymkanas and excursions led by bilingual and natives teachers. It’s a really fun place with friendly people, where you won´t get bored at all.
