Summer camp in the Azores

Summer camp in the Azores

Explore the Azores during this summer camp on the island of São Miguel. Activities such as environmental conservation, youth support, sustainable agriculture, and outdoor adventures will be led by a local team (canyoning, whale watching, volcanic excursions).

Each day will be an opportunity to learn, connect, and make a positive impact!

Volunteer Projects

During this summer camp, participants take part in several volunteer projects throughout their stay, offering the chance to discover as much as possible.

Youth Support

With the help of supervisors, participants visit after-school centers to offer fun and educational activities to children aged 4 to 10 years old. The children at the center are in situations of social exclusion, and the goal is to organize activities that help them gain self-confidence, encourage learning, and develop their curiosity.

You will be encouraged to:

  • Interact and engage with the children
  • Take part in creative workshops (painting, theater, music)
  • Help with English learning

Sustainable Agriculture

For this part of the program, participants will help preserve the characteristic landscapes of the Azores. This project also has a strong social dimension, as in addition to contributing positively to the environment, participants will take part in activities alongside people with disabilities.

The role of participants will be to:

  • Maintain the vegetable garden, nursery, and plants
  • Help with harvesting
  • Contribute to the preparation of finished products

Young Communicators

Throughout their trip, participants will work in teams to design and develop communication strategies to promote their volunteer projects.

The objectives are to:

  • Take photos and videos
  • Promote the mission and activities of local NGOs

FAQ

Un summer camp, ou camp d’été, est une expérience immersive qui permet aux adolescents et aux jeunes adultes de participer à des activités éducatives, sportives et culturelles pendant les vacances estivales. Ces programmes offrent un cadre sécurisé pour découvrir de nouvelles cultures, activités, améliorer ses compétences linguistiques (anglais / espagnol) et rencontrer des personnes d’horizons variés. Ces programmes portent un aspect éducatif important : les ados vont pouvoir apprendre beaucoup sur la culture et la langue du pays visité.

Most youth camps follow a similar structure:

First day: upon arrival, teens are welcomed by the staff, introduced to the other participants, and given a tour of the facilities to help them feel comfortable.

Monday to Friday:

  • Morning: language classes (an average of 15 hours per week)
  • Afternoon: cultural and sports activities (visits, workshops, nature outings, etc.)
  • Evening: free time, games, and opportunities to connect with international participants

 

Weekend: excursions and visits to explore more of the country and practice the language in real-life situations.

Registering for a summer camp abroad is generally done in several steps:

 

  1. Choose a suitable program based on the teenager’s interests and language level.
  2. Check the registration requirements: age, language level, administrative prerequisites.
  3. Call with our team to guide you toward the right project and answer your questions.
  4. Complete an application form including information about the child, any specific needs, and parental authorizations.
  5. Plan the logistics: transport, visa, travel insurance, vaccinations if necessary.
  6. Finalize the registration and prepare for departure, making sure you have all the necessary equipment. Sports camps often require suitable clothing.
