  The programme offers Spanish school children, 12-14 years of age, the chance to spend a week immersed in English, with workshops, sports and activities in the company of native level teaching staff. Groups of 50 children come from individual schools, with 2 teachers as chaperones and spend Monday to Friday with us at the Youth Hostel. All activities will be done in English accompanied by our staff at all times. The activities include: NATURE TRAILS, RECYCLING, LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES, SONG WRITING, ROLE PLAY, SCRAPBOOKING, MAKING VIDEOS, ANIMATION, PHOTOGRAPHY, COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, SPORTS, MUSIC, DANCE so we need staff with lots of energy and specific skills in any of these areas.
