It’s time to plan the free time your children will have this summer. What’s in store for your sons and daughters this year? At Tour & Kids we know that the best childhood memories are made in summer: living together, making new friends and plenty of teamwork.
Our partners have designed programmes that combine the best of leisure with learning, promoting values such as respect, sustainability and the protection of biodiversity. A 360º experience where they’ll even practise their English while having fun!
Here is the ultimate guide to Summer Camps and Summer Schools 2026, which we will update regularly.
Summer camps in the Comunitat Valenciana: connecting with animals and conservation
For those who dream of being explorers and love animals, these options are simply magical:
BIOPARC Valencia (Africa Expedition)
When the holidays arrive, the wildest adventure begins! Under the theme "The Dragon’s Kingdom", Bioparc offers a fully immersive experience divided by age: Peque AVENTURA (for children born in 2020 and 2021) and Gran AVENTURA (for children born between 2014 and 2019).
Children will stop being visitors and become "specialists" in their favourite animals. How? By going into the technical areas and indoor enclosures, helping the keepers prepare the animals’ diets, taking part in environmental enrichment routes and observing animal behaviour that few people ever get to see.
All of this is combined with treasure hunts, science workshops, themed games and, of course, refreshing dips in the summer pool for the older ones. A unique opportunity for them to learn about conservation while fulfilling the dream of experiencing an animal park from the inside.
Terra Natura and Aqua Natura Benidorm
They offer their Summer School (ages 4 to 11) and the exciting Teen Campus (ages 12 to 16). It’s the perfect plan for balancing work and family life while children and teenagers enjoy an exclusive experience surrounded by nature.
They will build on their knowledge of natural sciences, practise English through games and enjoy endless activities: a multi-adventure area, visits to the animals’ shelters and educational demonstrations with birds of prey and sea lions. And all with refreshing daily swims at the Aqua Natura water park to beat the heat!
Oceanogràfic
This summer, young people aged 12 to 16 have a crucial mission: to become leaders in the fight against climate change. Under the motto "PROA hacia el cambio" (Full steam ahead towards change), the Oceanogràfic offers a one-week scientific expedition to explore everything from coral reefs to the depths of the Arctic and Antarctica.
Participants will not only get to know the animals up close, but will also work hand in hand with the keepers and the conservation team (ARCA del Mar), research how dolphins communicate and enjoy a unique sailing experience on board the schooner Tirant Primer.
It is an adventure designed to transform their view of the marine world while they discover the secrets of our Mediterranean in a dynamic and professional environment.
Science, ice and curiosity at summer camps in the Comunitat Valenciana
City of Arts and Sciences
Under the motto "Ice and Science Explorers", this summer the complex becomes the base camp for a great expedition where curiosity is the only compass. Young explorers (aged 5 to 12) will follow in the footsteps of penguins and seals at the Oceanogràfic to discover how life survives in extreme conditions.
At the Museu de les Ciències and the Hemisfèric they will become scientists ready to experiment and ask questions, while the Palau de les Arts and CaixaForum will bring a creative and artistic touch to the adventure. It is a 360º experience designed to show them that science is everywhere, from the ice at the poles to the notes of a musical score.
Save the date! Registration opens on 15 April.
Summer camps in the Comunitat Valenciana: water sports and the sea as a classroom
For those who never want to get out of the water, we have some wonderfully refreshing options:
Ocean Republik (Marina de València)
Into the water, brave ones! At this summer school, the sea becomes the most exciting playground. Its programmes are designed for children and young people (aged 6 and over) to have fun while learning the techniques of sports such as windsurfing, surfing, stand-up paddle (SUP) and skateboarding.
The key to its success is learning through play, always with state-of-the-art equipment specifically adapted to the pupils’ weight and age to ensure their safety and progress.
They also offer weekly multi-activity options at their Malvarrosa and El Perellonet (SUPSKULL) sites, where teamwork and respect for the marine environment take centre stage every day.

Club Náutico Oropesa del Mar
Would you like your children to learn English while enjoying the Mediterranean? Their summer camps offer a unique shared experience where language practice leaves the classroom and becomes part of a spectacular setting.
On the Costa Azahar, children will discover the world of water sports, from sailing, canoeing and windsurfing to paddle surfing and kayaking, always accompanied by qualified instructors and with no previous experience needed.
The programme is completed with workshops, gymkhanas, evening activities and team games that encourage teamwork and the development of social skills in direct contact with nature.

Creativity, cinema and video games at summer camps in the Comunitat Valenciana
Valencia Club Cocina
This summer, the kitchen becomes the setting for the best stories with its "Cinema and Video Games" school. Aimed at children aged 7 and over, the little chefs will learn to prepare complete menus inspired by their favourite worlds: from the earth blocks of Minecraft and the ramen from Naruto to the quesadillas from Coco or the spaghetti from Lady and the Tramp.
The schedule runs from 9:00 to 14:00 (with an early drop-off option, and with mid-morning snack and lunch included). The experience is completed with a weekly trip to the Alquería Plant i Cull, where our friend Voro will guide them through his gastronomic museum and they will harvest fresh produce to keep cooking movie-worthy dishes.
Discover all the menus and book their place!
