Short answer: typical prices
A residential summer camp in Spain with accommodation, meals and activities usually costs €500 to €1,500 a week. A two-week stay therefore costs about €1,000 to €3,000, before flights. Day camps and online courses cost less, and premium sport or academic camps cost more.

Prices come from public listings on languagecourse.net and provider pages, and change by season. Use them as a guide, and always ask for a current quote.
Treat these numbers as a range for your summer camp in Spain cost, not as a quote. A camp that puts lessons, meals, accommodation and excursions in one price is easier to budget than one that bills each item separately.
What is included in the summer camp price?
Camp prices are not all built the same way, which is why a low price can be misleading. Check these items:
- Accommodation, and the room type
- All meals, including lunch and dinner
- Number of lessons per week
- Activities and equipment
- Excursions, transport and entrance fees
- Insurance
- Supervision, day and night
- Airport pickup and drop-off
At Naranja Camp, the price includes accommodation, all meals, 20 hours of Spanish a week, all activities and excursions, insurance and Valencia airport transfers. Flights are not included.
Extra costs on top of the summer camp price
| Extra | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Airport transfer | About €45 to €90 each way, if not included |
| Unaccompanied minor service (airline) | About €15 to €90 |
| Special diet | Some camps charge about €30 to €55 a week |
| Single-room supplement | About €95 to €100 a week |
| Extra night | About €150 at some camps |
| Optional sport or courses | Priced per session |
| Flights | Varies by season and city |
| Pocket money | €50 to €150 for two weeks, depending on your child |
What makes camps cost more or less
- Length. The first week often costs more than each extra week.
- Location. Madrid and Barcelona tend to cost more than smaller cities.
- Accommodation. Tents or shared rooms are cheaper than single rooms or host families.
- Lessons per week. More lessons mean a higher price.
- Staff ratio. Small groups and more supervisors cost more but give more attention.
- Season. July and August are the most expensive weeks.
- Age and programme. Sports academies and leadership programmes cost the most.
Cost of a summer camp by type
Language camps
These combine lessons with activities, and typically cost €1,000 to €1,500 a week at residential camps. The price rises with the number of lessons.
Sport camps
Football, tennis, surf and sailing camps range from about €800 to €1,500 a week at many providers, while elite academies cost more.
Multi-activity and adventure camps
These can be the cheapest, from about €500 a week for simple outdoor camps, and cost more when they include water sports and excursions.
Per week or per session?
Camps quote prices in different ways, and this causes most of the confusion. One camp lists a price per week, another per two-week session, and another per programme with a fixed start date. A price of €1,000 a week is not cheaper than €1,800 for two weeks if the first includes lessons only. Always convert to one standard: the total cost for the same number of weeks, with everything included.
Example budget for a two-week camp
| Item | Example cost |
|---|---|
| Camp (Naranja Camp, 2 weeks) | €2,800 |
| Return flight, booked early | €150 to €400 |
| Airline unaccompanied minor fee, if needed | €15 to €90 |
| Pocket money | €50 to €150 |
| Total | About €3,000 to €3,450 |
This example uses the Naranja Camp price, with transfers and insurance already included. For a camp that charges extra for transfers, add about €90 to €180.
Day camp or residential camp: how does the price compare?
A day camp costs less per week, because there is no accommodation, but families must pay for travel and a place to stay, and children miss the evening life of the camp. For families who live far away, a residential camp with everything included is often better value than a day camp plus a hotel.
Questions to ask before you pay
- What exactly is included, and what is not?
- Is the price per week or per session?
- How big is the deposit, and when is the balance due?
- What is the cancellation and refund policy?
- Are transfers, insurance and excursions included?
- Are there extra fees for diets, single rooms or optional activities?
- Is there a discount for early booking, siblings or longer stays?
How to compare camps fairly
- Divide the total price by the number of weeks.
- Add extras such as transfers, diets and optional activities.
- Divide by lessons: how many hours of teaching do you get for the money?
- Compare the staff ratio and the age mix.
- Check cancellation terms and the deposit.
How to save money
- Book early. Many camps offer early-booking prices, and popular dates sell out between January and May.
- Choose a longer stay when it lowers the weekly price.
- Ask about sibling and friend discounts.
- Pick shared rooms rather than single rooms.
- Book flights early, and compare nearby airports.
- Choose a camp that includes transfers and excursions.
Plan your summer camp in Spain cost over 12 months
- October to December: compare camps and ask for written quotes. Knowing the summer camp price early lets you spread the cost.
- January to March: book and pay the deposit while early-booking prices and the best dates are available.
- April to May: pay the balance, and book flights before prices rise for summer.
- June: buy sun cream, swimwear and a bag, and exchange a small amount of euros.
If you are sending two children, ask whether the camp offers a sibling discount, and whether both can share a group or room type.
Payment, deposit and currency
Work out the full summer camp price, including flights and pocket money, before you pay the deposit. Most camps ask for a deposit to hold the place, and the balance before arrival. At Naranja Camp, a deposit secures your place. Prices are in euros, so families outside the eurozone should check card and transfer fees, which can add a few percent. Read the cancellation and refund terms before you pay.
Is a more expensive camp worth it?
A higher price is worth it when it buys real value: more hours of teaching, better supervision, a good location and everything included. Ask what the extra money pays for. If the answer is more teaching hours, a lower staff ratio or inclusive transfers and excursions, it is usually worth it. If it only pays for a nicer brochure, it is not. A cheap camp with many extras is often not cheaper in the end. For safety questions to ask, read our guide to safety at a summer camp in Spain.
