How much do kids camps cost in Spain in 2027? Prices by format and region

Typical prices of kids camps in Spain: half-day, full-day and residential, by region, what is included, discounts and hidden extras, from real organiser prices.

One of the first questions families ask is how much a camp costs in Spain. The honest answer is: it depends on the format far more than on the region, and the price on the website often does not tell you what you will really pay. This guide uses the prices that organisers publish on their own websites and that we have collected in our catalogue, to give you realistic ranges for 2027. They come mostly from the 2026 season, because many organisers have not yet published 2027 prices, so expect small increases and always check the current price on the organiser's site.

How we calculated the numbers

Our catalogue has 941 camps, and 696 of them show a price. We compare weekly prices of the same format and report the median (the middle price) and the usual range. Many organisers publish a price per session or per day instead; these are not included in the numbers below. Where there are only a few camps in a group, the figures are less reliable, and we say so.

Prices by format

• Half-day camps (mornings, around 9:00 to 13:00): median about 160 euros a week, with most between 130 and 200 euros. This is the cheapest option, but lunch is usually extra or brought from home.
• Full-day camps: median about 195 euros a week, with most between about 130 and 290 euros, and some programmes much higher. Lunch is often included, and a longer day means a higher price.
• Residential camps: median about 570 euros a week, with most between about 480 and 870 euros. Meals and accommodation are included; some specialist camps cost well over 1,000 euros.

Some camps also publish a price per day. For full-day camps these daily prices are often around 35 to 60 euros, which is useful if you only need a few days.

Prices by region

Regions differ, but the numbers are small, so treat them as hints. For full-day camps the median is around 250 euros a week in Barcelona and about 185 in Madrid; on the Costa del Sol it is about 140 euros, though with a wide range because of international programmes. For half-day camps, the figures are around 200 euros in Madrid, 180 in Barcelona, 175 on the Costa Brava, 185 on the Costa Blanca and 120 to 150 in Mallorca, Asturias and the Costa Dorada. Residential camps show the largest difference: about 450 to 550 euros in the Pyrenees, Castilla y León, Costa Dorada and Andalusia, but around 1,100 euros or more on the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and Barcelona, where specialist programmes and international schools raise the median. Browse your destination on the search page and compare, for example, Barcelona, Madrid, the Costa Dorada or the Pyrenees.

Why prices differ

• Specialisation: a sailing, golf or language course costs more than a general casal, because of equipment and qualified staff
• Programme: a professional club or an international school sets higher prices
• Hours and meals: a day that ends at 17:00 with lunch costs more than a morning
• Staff ratio: smaller groups mean a higher price
• Season: July is the peak, and some camps raise prices in the busiest weeks

What is usually included

• Residential camps: accommodation, all meals, activities, monitors and insurance. Check the transport and the final day
• Full-day camps: activities and supervision, often lunch; sometimes a T-shirt or material
• Half-day camps: activities and supervision; the morning snack is often brought from home

In our catalogue, lunch is marked as included for 87 of 257 full-day camps, as an extra for 39, and brought from home for 8; for the rest the organiser does not say. Always ask in writing.

Discounts

Many organisers give a discount for siblings, for booking several weeks or for early registration, and some local families get municipal rates. These discounts are not published in a structured way by most organisers, so we do not show them in numbers. Ask about them directly, and ask whether they stack. If you are travelling with two children, a discount of even 5 or 10 percent can change the comparison between camps, so it is worth sending an email.

Hidden extras

• Registration or enrolment fee (matrícula), separate from the weekly price
• Lunch, snack or dining room (comedor) on half-day and full-day camps
• Early drop-off and late pick-up (acogida or "aula matinal"), usually priced per day or per week
• Transport or coach, and airport transfers for residential camps
• Insurance, if it is not included in the price
• T-shirt, material or equipment hire (racket, wetsuit)
• Excursions and special activities, such as a day at a water park
• Optional activities on residential camps

Payment and cancellation

Organisers usually ask for a deposit or the full price at registration, often by bank transfer or card on their own website. Cancellation rules vary a lot: some refund until a date, some keep the deposit, others are flexible if the child is ill. We do not hold any money and we do not take bookings; the contract is between your family and the organiser. Read the conditions before you pay. See the documents and health checklist for what else organisers typically ask for.

How to compare prices fairly

• Compare the same format and the same length
• Convert everything to price per day, including lunch and extras
• Count the weeks: for a whole season it is often cheaper to book several weeks with the same organiser
• Check the language and ratio, not only the price

Our compare tool shows price per day and an estimate for the dates you chose, for up to 10 camps. It is based on published prices, so treat the result as an estimate. For planning, how to choose a camp puts price in context with the other factors.
