Four to seven is the age when a camp has to feel safe before it can be fun: small groups, patient monitors and a day that isn't too long. This list gathers the camps that take kids this young, from English and science schools to pool, sports and nature camps, in the city and the towns around it.
Valencia Basket's summer school, ten editions in, runs at L'Alqueria del Basket, the club's own training center. Club coaches and beginner specialists teach the basics through games, and days mix basketball sessions with multisport, water games, crafts, a relaxation workshop and team tournaments. Every kid goes home with a medal and a diploma.
It suits young kids trying basketball for the first time, not only those already on a team.
A themed morning camp at the Kids&Us English academy in Nueva Fe. Each week brings a new story, and kids live it through songs, crafts, movement games and a pretend market where they order breakfast in English. Teachers speak only English, yet the camp is open to kids who have never taken a Kids&Us class. Groups are small and split by age.
Themed summer weeks at the Kids&Us English school in Campanar, run entirely in English with the school's natural-learning method. Days mix theater, music, crafts and stories, so kids hear and use English while they play. It suits young kids who already attend Kids&Us classes, or families who want a gentle dose of English over the holidays. Kids after sports all day will find more elsewhere.
A summer program Xicotets runs in its own two nursery schools. The Godella campus, in Campolivar, sits among pine trees with a vegetable garden, and days bring water games, outdoor challenges, sports and cooking workshops. The Eixample school on Calle Cirilo Amorós is the city option, with crafts, music, mini-chef sessions, outings and swimming. It suits toddlers and preschoolers; older kids after a full sports week will want something else.
A sleepaway camp at Parque ADAI, the Náquera farm school many Valencia-region schools use for class trips. Each session follows a story told by costumed characters: team games, crafts, theater, music and cooking workshops, a daily swim, and chores in the vegetable garden and with the farm animals. Groups of 6 to 8 kids keep one educator day and night. Built for a first stay away from home.
A sports day camp at the Olympia Hotel, Events & Spa in Alboraya, just north of Valencia city.

It's open to kids from any school, so no BSV place is needed.

A science and nature day camp inside the Jardí Botànic, the University of Valencia's botanical garden. Ginkgo Educación has run workshops in the garden for over 25 years.

Younger and older kids work in separate groups. It suits curious kids who like animals and hands-on science.
Expedition Africa is BIOPARC Valencia's summer school, run in themed weeks. Kids follow a story-driven adventure around the park: scavenger hunts, workshops and science experiments, preparing diets and enclosures, building enrichment for the animals, and visits to the technical area with the keepers. There are water games and a summer pool too. The zoo's education team, trained in biology and animal welfare, leads every group. Suits animal-mad kids happy outdoors all day.
A summer day camp at R-evolution School, a parkour and urban sports school in Russafa. Kids rotate through parkour, climbing, aerial silks and calisthenics, with outings to the park and the beach.
