Values
RAISING AWARENESS
Our goal is for children to become aware of the beauty and richness of the natural world and learn to understand it in order to better protect it.
At La Mandorla they develop autonomy, ingenuity, and mutual support, since all the children are of different ages, so we encourage the older ones to help the younger ones.
CREATIVITY
LANGUAGES
Some camps are French-speaking: February, second week of Easter, the first two weeks of July, Autumn.
In the other camps, the children come from different schools (English, French, German, Catalan, international schools, etc.) and the common language is Spanish. The counselors speak Spanish, Catalan, French, and English.
French-language camps are a great opportunity for children to deepen and improve their language skills, as most of the activities are in French.
These are very hands-on, practical activities, so children quickly grasp them even if they don't have an advanced level of French. They enrich their speech and vocabulary through storytelling, short plays during nighttime activities, group games, and more
LANGUAGES
During the camping trips, the children deepen and improve their language skills since a large part of the activities are in French. They enrich their speech and vocabulary through storytelling and drama during the evening vigils.
REFERENCES
The counselors and facilitators at La Mandorla play a fundamental role in the smooth running of the camps. We dedicate a great deal of effort to ensuring they share our values, which are at the heart of the entire project.
The children need to see them as role models they can listen to and trust. They will be their guides and companions throughout the week.
