Summer Camps in Avila (Sierra de Gredos)

Ávila is home to one of the largest ranges of mountain summer camps in Spain: the Sierra de Gredos on one side, pine forests and cold-water rivers on the other. At Natuaventura we organise three camps in the province of Ávila — Gredos Multi-Adventure, Navarredonda and Navatormes English Camp — each with its own character.

What the Ávila Camps Have in Common

Sierra de Gredos as a Classroom

River Tormes, natural pools, Pozo de las Paredes, pine forests. Nature is the real setting for every activity, not just an occasional day trip.

Camping as a Philosophy

All three camps use tents or tipis outdoors. It is not a traditional hostel: it is the classic camp experience with all the necessary comforts.

The Same Guarantees

A ratio of 1 activity leader for every 8 participants, 4 meals a day with an on-site kitchen, pocket money of 20–30 €, calls home every 3–4 days and a daily social-media diary.
