Lingualink La Sella Summer Camp

Additional information

Host Families
Lingualink La Sella takes great care in selecting the host families who will look after your child during the course. This is one of the best ways to enjoy your summer and to practice your Spanish in a native environment. With our host families you will get to know a lot more about the culture and traditions of Spain as well as improving your spoken language. Both breakfast and dinner are provided by the family. All that is required from the students is that they keep their bedroom tidy! The students will be placed in families in groups between 2 and 4 per family. If you want your child to be alone in a host family a supplement will be added to the price of the course.
