Most children spend years studying a language and still cannot hold a real conversation. Two weeks at Hola Adventure! changes that — through water sports, night expeditions, and cultural immersion at Westbourne House School.
Your child has been studying Spanish or French for years. They can conjugate verbs. They can pass a test. But the moment someone actually speaks to them, they freeze.
Hola Adventure! exists for exactly this moment.
Hosted at Westbourne House School's 100-acre campus in Chichester, Hola Adventure! is not a typical holiday camp. It is a two-week full immersion experience where language is not a subject on a timetable — it is the medium through which everything else happens. Kayaking, climbing, night navigation by the stars, international cooking, cultural breakfasts, flamenco and drumming workshops — every single activity happens in Spanish or French.
This is what a typical day at a Hola Adventure! camp looks like:
By the end of the two weeks, your child will have had 40 hours of real language contact. More progress, in most cases, than an entire school year of lessons.
The camp is led by Mariana Espinel, a native speaker and founder of Mariposa Languages recognised by The King's Trust for two consecutive years, and Conor Crabb, a professional outdoor expedition leader qualified in New Zealand, Nicaragua, and Brazil. Groups are small by design. Results are not accidental.
It's available as a full residential programme (including accommodation, all meals, and a seven-day programme for £2,200 per two-week or £1,100 per one-week session) or as a day camp running 9am to 7pm, Monday to Friday (£749 per week).
The deposit is fully refundable within seven days.
