FAQs

What are considered School Programs?
They take place throughout the year and last from 1 to 4/ 5 days, children/young people come with the school teachers or responsible for the institution. There are activities for children over 3 years old and our monitors accompany them 24/day.

What are considered Summer Camps?
They take place during the summer (July, August, September) and last for 7 days, on a boarding basis, with overnight stays and activities included. Young people are registered individually by their parents or guardians and are placed in the appropriate age group. The coordinators/monitors accompany and are responsible for the children's stay in our space, with the responsibility of providing your child with a family atmosphere during this period.

Summer/ Holiday  camps are important for the development of young people, they give them the opportunity to meet new young people, create bonds, create their own autonomy and, above all, help them to create a foundation for life.

There are several reasons that lead parents to seek Campo Aventura: Many do it for their children to become more independent, so that they “grow up”, acquiring maturity, in summary, for them to  “cut the umbilical cord” with their parents.

However, it is also during school holidays, with parents still working that they feel an urge  to occupy their children/young people,so  they look for a safe place, with outdoor activities, thus avoiding consoles or traditional PC games, and so they find  Campo Aventura.

Breaking the routine and providing a set of new experiences reveals the importance of the Summer Camps and their benefits.

With unique facilities within Europe, Campo Aventura provides all its customers with an exceptional and excellent environment.

The Water Space delights visitors, as well as the XRoom, Multipurpose Pavilion, the Auditorium, among many other spaces that complement the stay at Campo Aventura Júnior Resort.

We also have two dining spaces, the Margarita Restaurant and the Ritrovo Pizza restaurant!

For the overnight stay, participants use the Happy Hotel, Orchid, Daisy, Jasmine, Lavender and Broom Rooms (Rooms have a capacity between 4 and 12 beds).

A theme that fills us and to which we put a lot of effort!
At Campo Aventura, safety is one of our highest priorities.

ACTIVE SECURITY

The entrances to our space is limited and properly controlled, the entire area being fenced in and with video surveillance devices that cover the entire space. We also have systems for fire and theft control.
We also have in our facilities the EAD – External Automatic Defibrillator program so that we can be at the base of prevention.
The pool is also fully fenced and there is strict control, once in operation, there are at least 2 monitors permanently under surveillance.
We value the removal of critical points, giving priority to prevention with regard to all safety issues.

FOOD SAFETY

Campo Aventura has implemented the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point)  process at its facilities, carrying out periodic audits under the responsibility of the person in charge of the food area.

SAFETY IN OUR ACTIVITIES AND FIELD OUTINGS

The vast majority of activities are carried out at Campo Aventura premises, however, there are some that take place outside, such as: Peddy Paper; Speleology, Surfing, External Orientation, among others.
In this type of activities, the participants are accompanied by all the team members who watch over them and who remain within the framework of Campo Aventura’s security plan.

For children up to 10 years of age, the timetable will be between 22:00 and 22:30, for young people over the age of 10, the time will be between 22:30 and 23:30, depending on the night’s activity.

After a day of activities, a good night’s sleep will help restore the spent energy.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Campo Aventura is not responsible for the loss, damage or disappearance of any kind of belongings, advising the identification of all items belonging and brought to the camp by the participants.

From the moment your children enter this space, our greatest concern is their well-being, and based on this objective, all our efforts and energies are engaged.

ENTRY TIME INTO THE HOLIDAY CAMPS: Between 14:00 and 16:00

DEPARTURE TIME FROM THE HOLIDAY CAMP: Until 14:00

VISITING TIME ON PARENTS DAY (Only for 14-day programs corresponding to the intermediate Sunday): Between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm

Important:
If your child is attending the 14-day stay, on the intermediate Sunday, there is “Parents Day”. On this day all those responsible for the children (parents, guardians and so on) will have to sign an authorization form for the outing of their children. Children can leave Campo Aventura in the company of someone other than the guardian, only and only, with written authorization.
We beg parents not enter the space reserved for activities without authorization from our STAFF for the following reasons:
Your children’s safety. On this particular day we are visited by hundreds of people, making it impossible to control them one by one.
In this sense, and to prevent the entry of strangers with dubious intentions into this space, we decided that this would be the most effective way to manage the entries and exits to the premises.

Some of the participants who are within our facilities are not visited by their family and friends and as such their colleagues going out can destabilize their well-being, sometimes giving rise to situations of great suffering for the children.
Although for many this is a free day, when they go out with parents and family, it is necessary to have a set of activities planned and prepared to develop with the children who remain inside with us, either during part of the day or throughout the day. Thus, the entry of parents and family members interferes with the normal course of activities, breaking their rhythm, which ends up conditioning all planned activities.

Our food continues wonderful …
Our menus are delicious, homemade, fresh and offer a possibility of choice.

Now Campo Aventura has two distinct spaces:
Ritrovo Pizza Restaurant & Margarita Restaurant

Campo Aventura has on its premises a first aid room, open 24 hours a day. In addition, all monitors are trained first aiders and whenever “superficial” cases/ailments occur, they intervene.

In case they require more professional care, Campo Aventura goes to Caldas da Rainha Hospital, where the pediatric unit has deserved our highest praise.
