If you don’t have fun during the summer months, when will you? That’s why at the BCA Summer Camp we make sure that, in addition to being fully immersed in the English language, students have a blast. Some of the activities on the agenda are weekly excursions to 360Extrem or to Caldea, as well as daily workshops and outdoor activities. We also offer daily English classes aimed at improving students’ spoken fluency.
The BCA Summer Camp is a weekly day camp which takes place the first four weeks of July (from the 1st to the 26th). Each week is a new experience, so students may enroll for multiple weeks.

Who can sign up?
The BCA Summer Camp is open to all students born between 2007 and 2021, both for current BCA students, as well as those from other schools (either in Andorra or abroad). Groups are formed factoring in students’ levels of English and ages.
360Extrem & Caldea
The weekly excursions are, without a doubt, one of the highlights of the week.
During weeks 1 and 3, students go to Caldea, Andorra’s thermal spa. There, the younger students enjoy a stay at Likids and the older ones go to the general Thermoludic area, accompanied by the Summer Camp staff.
During weeks 2 and 4, students go to 360Extrem, Andorra’s leading freestyle center. There, students learn how to do jumps and flips on trampolines, take skateboarding lessons and work on their gross motor skills.

Planning for Young Learners
Students born between 2019 and 2021 work on a weekly book-based theme (e.g. The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Three Little Pigs). This group’s activities include daily workshops (cooking, experiments and yoga), crafts and outdoor activities.
During most of the day this group is split up into 2 subgroups, according to the students’ ages.
General Planning
Groups of students born prior to 2018 follow a similar planning, but the students are split up into groups factoring in their ages and levels of English. The age ranges of the groups are approximately 6-8, 9-12 and 13-16.
Each day we run the following 3 sessions:
A daily English lesson followed by an interactive activity in English. The goal of both sessions is to improve students’ spoken fluency.
