Summer Camps
Summer Camps by L’Arcada USA: An Unforgettable Experience
At L’Arcada, we believe in the power of summer to transform lives. That’s why we organize life-changing summer camps in Spain, combining outdoor adventure, cultural exchange, and personal growth—all in a safe, faith-centered environment.
Each summer, dozens of kids and teens from across Spain (and beyond) gather in the beautiful foothills of northern Spain to participate in our dynamic, Christ-centered programs. These camps are led by a passionate team of Spanish and American leaders, creating a unique opportunity for cross-cultural friendships and deep spiritual impact.
Whether it’s through sports, team-building activities, creative workshops, or quiet moments of reflection, our campers experience an environment that encourages spiritual growth, leadership development, and lasting memories. Most importantly, each activity and relationship is an open door to clearly share the hope of the Gospel, helping young people encounter Jesus in a personal way.
L’Arcada Team USA partners directly with L’Arcada Spain to send volunteers, raise support, and build awareness across the U.S. for these camps. Our teams come with the purpose of living out and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ, so that campers not only enjoy an unforgettable summer but also have the opportunity to hear and respond to the message of salvation. We also provide opportunities for American families, youth groups, and individuals to get involved—whether that’s through financial support, serving as summer staff, or joining short-term mission trips or Work-Teams.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to invest your summer, or if you want your church or family to be part of something bigger, L’Arcada is a great place to start.
