  • Our history
    Past, present and future of the summer camps

    English Summer S.A. was founded by Mrs. Margaret Wright and her husband Jordi Fleix Pujol in 1980, in their own summer house located in the town of Vallclara (Tarragona).

    The first camp was attended by a group of 17 students from the private classes that Mrs. Wright made in the city of Tarragona. These families were the pioneers and year after year, the number of students increased thanks to their recommendations.

    Later, in 1987, the Fleix family bought the Hotel Balneari La Capella in Poblet (Tarragona) and expanded the offer to carry out summer camps. As a result of the success of summer camps and private lessons, in 1989 the English language academy was opened in Tarragona and in 1992 the Reus academy was opened.

  • Summer camps continued to grow, so the Fleix family opened a new center in 1998, but this time a few meters from the beach, the Tamarit camp (Tarragona). Later, during the summer of 2004, another residential center was inaugurated, this time in the mountains of Prades. This is the largest resort with the most capacity and largest sports facilities.

    During the summer of 2006 a management center was launched in Sant Carles de la Ràpita (Delta de l’Ebre) where students could make English camps and also practice water sports such as sailing. As the summer camps in Spain were very successful with the Andorran students, in 2007 the Andorra Camp was organized, a camp that combined adventure activities with learning English. A year later in 2008, another summer camp management center was opened in La Cerdanya, operating until 2017.

  • In 2010 we created the Spanish Summer brand, a specific product for foreign students who come to learn Spanish during our summer camps and thus share experiences with students who learn English. So far more than 1000 students (Russians, Germans, English, Italians ...) have participated in the summer camps to learn Spanish.

    In 2011, as a result of the company's innovation policy, it was decided to introduce a new language in the English Summer S.A. summer camps. so the first Chinese camp in Spain is created, the Chinese Summer Camp. Two years later, and thanks to the success of this program, a new one is created to learn German in the summer and some technology camps with LEGO Education at Campus Cerdanya. In 2014, a new camp also begins, which unites the learning of English with the practice of soccer in the Sports Complex Futbol Salou.

    In summer 2015, English Summer S.A. reinvented its summer camps considerably expanding its offer with new themed camps: Tech Camp, Tennis Camp, Sailing Camp, Watersports Camp, BTT Camp, Adventure Camp, Horseriding Camp, Dance Camp and Chef Camp.
