Since 2003, Lenguaventura has welcomed teenagers aged 14-17 from around the world to Tarifa, in southern Spain, for an international summer camp that combines language learning with an active, outdoor lifestyle by the sea.
What began in 1989 as Spanish programs for adults evolved in 2003 into the Lenguaventura Junior Summer Camp for teens aged 14-17.
Each summer, teenagers from over 18 nationalities come together, creating an international environment where Spanish and English are used naturally every day. At the same time, students progress in kitesurfing, windsurfing or wingfoiling.
Parents can find practical information about supervision, daily life at camp and travel arrangements in our Information for Parents section.
Lenguaventura was founded by Irene Weiss, originally from Switzerland, who has called Tarifa home for many years. Since 2010, she has been joined by Adrian Lago, a Madrid-born educator now based in Edinburgh. Adrián began his journey at Lenguaventura as a camp leader and today oversees group leaders, activities and daily operations.
Together, they make sure everything runs smoothly and that students feel comfortable and well looked after from the moment they arrive. The focus is on creating an environment where teenagers can settle in quickly, enjoy their time and gain confidence along the way.

Juanjo Sanchiz Un gustazo haber podido compartir un mes de mi vida con gente tan maravillosa. He tenido la gran oportunidad de trabajar codo con codo con cada integrante de Lenguaventura y sólo tengo palabras de agradecimiento por el trato recibido. Encantando de formar parte de su equipo en otra ocasión. Evelyn Smeets A memory making experience, with kids from all different countries! Martina Mueller Wir können dieses Camp jedem empfehlen, der Lust auf Abenteuer, neue Sprachen und coole Sportarten hat! Der Mix aus Lernen und Freizeit war perfekt für unseren Sohn. Man konnte sich weiterentwickeln und gleichzeitig jede Menge Spaß haben. Die Camp-Atmosphäre war familiär und wirklich genial - man hat die Möglichkeit viele neue Freunde aus verschiedenen Ländern kennenzulernen. Es ist aber gut, wenn man schon etwas Camp-Erfahrung mitbringt. Markus möchte auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. julie du Une vraie réussite! Tout d’abord Tarifa est une ville fantastique à une brasse de l’Afrique, belle, festive, accueillante, à échelle humaine, totalement orientée sur les sports nautiques avec des plages fabuleuses étirées sur des kilomètres et de généreuses conditions de vent. Le centre Lenguaventura est idéalement placé à deux pas de la plage et en lisière du cœur historique de la ville. En sus des cours de langues, les jeunes profitent d’un vrai melting-pot culturel et linguistique. Venus de partout dans le monde, ils sont visiblement plutôt à l’aise en anglais et communiquent dans cette langue ce qui garantit de vrais progrès. Ceux qui souhaitent progresser en espagnol ne seront probablement pas en reste. Les activités nautiques se déroulent sur un spot fantastique avec du top matériel et un encadrement à l’avenant. Tous les niveaux trouveront leur compte. Pour avoir accompagné notre fils sur site, nous avons pu constater tout cela. Pour le reste, ce qu’il a partagé avec nous (peu de détails mais un avis général) est un véritable enthousiasme sur l’ensemble du séjour qui met en avant de belles rencontres, de bonnes tranches de rigolade et des expériences qui font gagner en maturité + des progrès en funboard. Un très grand merci à toute l’équipe de Lenguaventura, garante de la réussite de ce séjour. Et bon vent pour les années à venir! S’il le souhaite je n’hésiterai pas à renvoyer mon fils l’année prochaine. Maria Del Carmen Delgado Pliego Tras finalizar la experiencia como parte del equipo de Lenguaventura me queda un gran recuerdo de esta experiencia que sin duda quiero volver a repetir ✨ Lo más destacable, la diversidad de actividades que se hacen y el ambiente tan familiar que se respira. Irene, Adri, todo más que dicho ✨🤞🏼 Nes Quiro Un campamento maravilloso con una ubicación céntrica en Tarifa, donde los participantes pueden practicar sus deportes acuáticos. Además, cuenta con numerosas actividades y excursiones muy enriquecedoras para conocer la zona de Cádiz. Ideal para adolescentes interesados en los deportes y actividades de interés cultural. Paul Collister I recently had the pleasure of sending my son to Lenguaventura Camps, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Irene and her team were incredibly welcoming and made my son feel right at home. Lenguaventura offers a perfect blend of language learning and adventure activities, making it both educational and fun. The language classes were engaging and interactive, allowing my son to learn in a dynamic environment. My son has improved his Spanish skills improved significantly,. The adventure activities were the highlight of the trip. They particularly enjoyed the kite surfing lessons, and made great progress in the month that he was there. The camp's location in Tarifa provides a beautiful and conducive environment for these activities, with stunning beaches and a friendly atmosphere. The accommodations were comfortable and clean and the meals were nutritious and varied. Overall, Lenguaventura Camps provided a memorable and enriching experience for my child. He made new friends from around the world, improved his Spanish, and enjoyed countless adventures. I highly recommend Lenguaventura Camps to any parents looking for a comprehensive summer camp that balances education and fun perfectly. Natalia9 Un campamento internacional 100%, Gabriel se lo ha pasado genial. Divertido, completo, con muchísimas actividades chulas y gente bonita. Se lleva consigo una experiencia fantástica para la mochila de su vida. El año que viene quiere repetir, Con eso digo todo. Muchas gracias a Irene y a toda la organización. Federica Cerato This camp was one of the most unforgettable holiday my son has ever done! The location is wonderfu,. Tarifa is a nice village perfect for windsports lovers, not too big so that they can go around by themselves and fell free and independent. The team of Lenguaventura is a great team, available, kind and ready to enjoy. Pietro really appreciated the relationships established with all of them as well as with the instructors of the windsurf school. Moreover I was very happy because he was surrounded by boys and girls from all over the world and when he was back home he was speaking so many languages and happy for all the friends ha had known. I recommend the camp with Lenguaventura because it is a great experience that enriched the children, made them independent and responsible in an atmosphere of great fun, sport and culture. T Super organised, great monitors and a memorable experience. When you have spare time you can play ping-pong, foosball, pool, and endless amounts of card and board games. Ready to meet them again next year. 🍣🍣🍣♥️😜 Súper organizado, monitores estupendos y una experiencia memorable. Cuando tengas tiempo libre podrás jugar al ping-pong, al futbolín, al billar y a un sinfín de juegos de cartas y de mesa. Listo para reencontrarnos con ellos el año que viene.Google rating score: 4.7 of 5, based on 33 reviews
