Camps at the Realmadrid Foundation Campus Experience are designed for boys and girls between 9 and 17 years of age of all levels of expertise. There are several programme options based on different objectives:

The Standard Programme, which provides fun, stimulating, and educational training designed for participants who play football at a beginner or intermediate level. One of the programme's highlights is its location, as participants train at Valdebebas, the official training facilities of the Realmadrid Foundation.

The Specific Goalkeeper Programme, designed for all levels of expertise (even those who have never played football). Training sessions are also held at Valdebebas.

The Intensive Programme, which is slightly more rigorous and features more hours of training. Participants are expected to have previous football knowledge and experience. Training sessions are held on the grounds of the European University of Madrid.

All Realmadrid Foundation Campus Experience summer camps are designed to provide participants with a comprehensive learning experience. Students spend several hours a day practising their football technique, and use the rest of their time to relax with camp-organised activities.

Training Facilities

  • Training surface: Natural and artificial grass
  • Additional training facilities: Classrooms for football theory lessons
  • Quality: 5/5

Students who participate in the Standard Programme and the Specific Goalkeeper Programme stay at the Autonomous University of Madrid, only a 20-minute drive from the training facilities. These are held at the official Real Madrid FC training facilities in Valdebebas, a dream come true for any fan! To get there, participants take a private bus transfer service twice a day.

Students of the Intensive Programme, on the other hand, stay at the European University of Madrid and train at the Villaviciosa de Odón facilities, close to their residence.

Coaches

  • Licenses: Realmadrid Foundation Certification
  • Coaching experience: Mandatory Realmadrid Foundation Certification
  • Game Experience: N/A
  • Languages: Spanish (basic level of English)

All summer camp coaches are certified by the Realmadrid Foundation. The certification process involves lessons on the Real Madrid philosophy and methodology, as well as the fundamental values of "madridismo"; teamwork, leadership, hard work, respect, and discipline. This is followed by pedagogy lessons so they can learn how to instil their knowledge in their young students.

A noteworthy aspect of the summer camps' coaching staff is their enthusiasm - they are dedicated to encouraging their students to strive for continuous improvement.

Safety

The Realmadrid Foundation has been organising Campus Experience football summer camps since 2010. Since then, it has grown to become one of the most famous youth football camps in the world, with around 3,500 participants every summer. The Foundation is adamant about ensuring the safety of all its students, which is why it works with a camp supervision team dedicated to providing round-the-clock surveillance. However, due to the large number of participants, students are supervised in large groups, and may not receive the personalised attention that is possible in smaller camps.
