We want to interview Maria so that she can explain more details about these types of camps and turn the process of selecting parents into a simpler process with more information so that they can choose the best destination for their children. I have been very attracted to a camp in which in addition to enjoying a pleasant stay with many activities is placed golf as one of the main attractions So we leave as Maria presents us with the Golf Camps project.
What is Golf Camps and what needs to go to a camp inside and outside Spain
We are an agency that offers summer golf camps for boys and girls between 7 and 18 years old of different levels and objectives. Many of these camps also offer language classes so that children not only practice their favorite sport but also improve their English level.
The main objective of these camps is that the children live an incredible experience, in a healthy environment and make friends of different nationalities while learning from better golf professionals, improve their language skills and participate in a multitude of complementary activities. We also offer high performance camps for kids with a high level of golf who want to improve their technique in prestigious academies in the United States.
What kind of training is offered to students who come to the camp
With regard to training, children not only learn the techniques of golf but they are instilled in healthy lifestyle habits such as the practice of habitual exercise or the importance of eating a healthy and balanced diet.
The sport of golf itself is very beneficial for children's mental and personality training since during the game they must follow their own strategies and make decisions to perform the best possible blow. With regard to English classes, they focus on communicative skills but all the subjects of the language are touched and the theme of golf is used to keep the children motivated and attentive.
In the complementary activities games are used to encourage the imagination of the little ones and excursions are made so that the boys become sociable with their peers.
In the Camp not only golf techniques are learned but also healthy living habits are instilled
Why children should go to a camp like Golf Camps
It is a unique opportunity for young golf lovers as they will learn from the best professionals and share the experience with boys of similar ages and hobbies. In these camps, children learn to function on their own and be more independent, but above all, what is sought is the fun of the little ones.
For parents it is a very good option for their children to have a great holiday, improve their English and practice outdoor sports. A well-deserved rest after the exhausting school year and an excellent outing for parents who work in summer and cannot spend their children the time they would like.
What teachers / monitors are with the children
Each camp has a number of monitors / coaches per child. As a general rule, there is one monitor for every 15 children approximately and the training groups are reduced to guarantee the coach's attention to all children.
The camps take the safety of the children very seriously and for this reason, the monitors live in the camp itself and are waiting for the young people 24 hours a day. They attend and help you with anything you may need.
How golf works with children
Depending on the age and level of golf. There are specific training programs for children of different levels and ages. These programs are designed by experienced professionals to ensure learning and fun at all levels. Sometimes, the boys also participate in tournaments where they put into practice everything they have learned.
How languages are worked with children
On the first day, the students have a level test to organize the classes. Once the groups are established by levels, classes begin to be taught. Each camp has its own language program, on many occasions these classes are taught by prestigious language schools that collaborate with the camps. Although they touch all aspects of language, they are usually focused on communication skills, especially camps outside of Spain since the whole environment in the camp is developed in English.
The communication skills are also worked in the Camp
What other sports and activities can be done at the camp
The camps are usually carried out in large sports facilities so they have tracks of different sports that the boys use in their complementary activities. The boys also usually go to the pool and participate in the activities organized by the monitors of each camp such as: yincana, theme nights, costume parties, movie nights, board games, etc.
At what ages does it apply?
Each camp sets its age limit but the range goes from 9 to 18 years old.
When the camp is celebrated and when to sign up
The camps are held during the summer months. The place can be reserved at any time, it is only necessary that the camp has available places and that there is time to make all the reservation procedures before the start of it.
The camp is aimed at children from 9 to 18 years old
How much does it cost and what insurance does it include
Prices vary greatly depending on the characteristics of the camp. A two-week camp can be hired from 1,750 euros.
All camps include in the price: full board accommodation, training, English classes and recreational activities. Some also give away young people with a sporty equipment of the camp. Optional services that are not included in the price are usually: transfer from the camp to the airport, medical insurance, travel insurance, and golf equipment. The flights are not included either.
What documentation is required to register at the camp
To register in the camp it is necessary to fill in a form with the information of the children, contact numbers, signature of the parents and photocopy of the passport. It is important to indicate if the child follows a specific diet or if he is allergic to any food, medication, etc.
In cases where a child needs a visa to attend a camp, the necessary information will be requested so that the camp can write the letter to obtain the visa.
How the fear that children may have of being away from home and away from their family is resolved
The boys usually stay in shared rooms so they sleep with other peers their age. The monitor team has extensive experience and is accustomed to dealing with these types of situations. In the camps there are phones with which they can call parents at established times. Many can also be visited by parents whenever an appointment is made in advance. Some boys, either because of their young age or because they have never been away from their parents, have a hard time adapting. In these cases we recommend parents to reassure the children so that they see that nothing happens and begin to enjoy. In a few days they get used to it and have a great time.
And here the interview with María Pizarro of Golf Camps. We thank you for the clarifications and explanations that you have offered us about the Golf Camp program for the kids and also for the younger ones. We encourage parents concerned about the long summer that is already very close, to review the complete and varied offer of specialized Camps. Without a doubt, the one that María has presented to us, we liked very much for her wide and varied offer.
