Host family accommodation for teenagers and kids

Host family stay at the Summer Camps 2010 Living with a Spanish family is one of the best ways for teens and children to get to know the country, including its culture and its people. It will also allow teens and children students to practice the Spanish language in a natural way.
Host family accommodation highlights
	Host families location				Carefully selected host families
	The majority of the host families are near the Spanish school, around 10 or 15 minutes walking. If students live more than 20 minutes walking, we provide them with bus tickets to go to the school. All the quarters of the city are connected to the centre by urban buses running every 10-15 minutes.				Host families are selected and visited regularly by ZadorSpain staff. In all of the families, teens and kids will find a warm atmosphere that will help them get integrated into the family and city life very quickly. Families usually have children with asimilar age to the students. Students will have a single room or a twin room for friends or for two students from the same family coming together.
	Living with a Spanish family				Full board accommodation
	The family provides the bed linen and towels, but students must bring their own towels for the beach. Students will have laundry once or twice a week and they should keep their room clean and tidy, and share the housework with the rest of the family. As in any family around the world, there are also a series of rules students must follow: be punctual to meal hours, let the host know if they are not having lunch or dinner at home, phone when arriving late... Students have to take into account that the house in Spain is considered a private family place and organising parties or dinners is not very frequent. Therefore, if students want to have a guest over, they should ask permission, keeping in mind that in most cases the family will not fancy the idea. All the students should arrive the evening before the beginning of the Spanish course and leave the accommodation the day after the end of the language course. Days before or after are considered extra nights.				Regarding the meals, students will have full board: Breakfast: Breakfast in Spain usually consists of juice or yogurt, hot chocolate, tea or coffee with milk, bread or biscuits, butter and jam or cereals. Lunch: During the week, from Monday to Friday students taking part in Tennis, Sailing or Windsurfing Camps receive usually a packed lunch with two sandwiches (“bocadillos”), fruit and drink, thus students can enjoy the beach or the swimming pool in the tennis school. On Saturday or Sunday (depending on the excursion planned for the weekend) lunch time in Spain is between 2.30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and it is the biggest meal during the day and it is usually the meeting the whole family. Students in the programme Spanish plus Tennis lessons will have lunch every day with the family around 14:00. Dinner is around 21:00 or 21:30 during the week and there is not a fixed time during the weekends. Special requirements: students with special dietary requirements should make a note in the enrolment. All juniors and kids will receive a “Meal list” to choose their favorite dishes as a suggestion for the host family. One week before the beginning of the Spanish language course, students will be supplied with the information concerning the accommodation: host family address, names, ages, profession, hobbies of the family and an email to contact them before arrival just to introduce them.
	Phone calls and Internet				Student expenses
	Students must use calling cards. The family should be notified if students want to make reverse charge calls. To receive phone calls the limited time is around 10.30 p.m. Internet and phone access varies by family. Students have free internet access at the Spanish language School.				Transport tickets, entrance tickets for amusement parks, museums, swimmingpools, meals... are included in the Summer Camp prices Remember that the student should pay their own expenses on excursions, restaurants, cinemas, cafés… We suggest around € 15 per day as pocket money.
