OP here: I will soon, I've been focused on first the country (Spain), the region (Costa del Sol), city (Malaga) and now hung up on neighborhoods and villa's vs apartments in terms what makes the most sense for such a long period.

Marbella has easier to find camps (for whatever reason), so I'll be building out a spreadsheet in the next month. It's not such a rush as I imagine a lot of camps won't be posted until Jan/Feb.

Appreciate all the advice here so far, the health stuff in particular I hadn't given enough consideration.

Hi! My kids do this every summer with their dad in calpe spain (east coast). Its bloody awful hot end of july to august. You cant be outside day time. But thats where he is from so its non negotiable. Kids do aquatics camp but barely engage with other kids (and my kids already speak spanish). So not much to gain language wise. They still love it! Younger kids can also do pony camp or other sports. However again its bloody hot. Plan on driving and picking up kids every day for camp. Many camps are only morning due to heat.

Surely other places have similar set ups. We live in Vienna and there are plenty camps here but German may not be too exciting!
