7 Things You Need to Know (or Bring) for an Amazing Buen Camino Camp Experience

Embarking on a journey with Buen Camino Camps is not just about packing a bag—it’s about preparing for an unforgettable adventure! Whether you’re joining us for a creative day camp in Los Angeles or a cultural immersion in Spain, here are seven essential things you need to know (and bring) to make the most of your time with us.

1. A Sense of Adventure

At Buen Camino Camps, every day is an opportunity to try something new. From hands-on ceramics workshops to exploring local culture or kayaking on a lake, bring an open mind and be ready to embrace exciting challenges!

2. Comfortable Clothes for Active Fun

Whether you’re hiking through scenic trails, or completing scavenger hunts and exploring caves like La Cueva de Valporquero in Spain, pack comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen for outdoor activities!

3. Your Creative Spirit

Our camps are designed to spark creativity. Be ready to get your hands dirty (literally!) in our garden, and don’t hesitate to express yourself—whether through pottery, painting, or showing your dance moves.

4. A Reusable Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is key! Bring a sturdy, reusable water bottle to keep refreshed during our energetic activities. We’re also committed to reducing waste, so this aligns with our eco-friendly values.

5. A Notebook or Journal

Our campers often find themselves inspired by the beauty of Spain or the camaraderie of new friends. A notebook is perfect for jotting down new Spanish phrases, sketching your surroundings, or recording memorable moments.

6. Preparedness for Disconnecting (and Reconnecting)

We encourage limited screen time to fully immerse in the camp experience. This is your chance to reconnect with nature, art, and new friends in meaningful ways—without the distractions of the digital world.

7. A Positive Attitude

Every camper’s journey is unique, and challenges can turn into the best stories. Come with a positive mindset, ready to learn, grow, and make memories that will last a lifetime!
