Mallorca has no shortage of brilliant summer camps for kids of all ages. From mountain adventures to seaside language courses, cooking, coding, and forest play, here are some of the island’s most engaging and well-loved camps for 2025. Each one offers something different, but all are designed to inspire, energise and entertain curious young minds.
Most camps are run in Spanish, English, or a mix of both — perfect whether your child’s bilingual, learning a new language, or just here for the week. There’s plenty of choice because July is a working month for many local families, with August set aside for holidays. Whether you live here or you’re visiting, summer camps are a great way for kids to try new activities, make friends, and have a bit of fun while you get things done.

Fabrica de Valientes
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, TEAM SPIRIT AND BEACH SPORTS (RESIDENTIAL)
This is Summer Camp with a difference. The development of each child’s emotional skillset is at the heart of the FdV program – camp councillors are fully trained teachers and daily morning activities foster teamwork and strengthen self-confidence. Afternoons are reserved for beach games and sports. From kayaking and watersports to yoga and archery, FdV strikes the perfect balance between emotional development and FUN.
The fun doesn’t begin and end in the day, competition is fierce to win early morning log cabin inspections and small group evening mentor meetings ensure every child feels heard and supported. It’s a screen-free environment designed to build independence and resilience, with space for fun and emotional growth in equal measure.

Bonaona Surf & Skate Camp
SURFING, SKATEBOARDING, SUP AND KAYAKING: SEASIDE ENERGY FOR ACTIVE KIDS
Perfect for first-time surfers (or mini pros), this beach-based camp just south of Palma is ideal for a week of sand, sea and salty smiles. Run very much on the beach (with a small indoor club space just behind), kids spend the morning out on the waves, learning to paddle, pop, SUP, kayak or catch their first ride. Groups are organised by age, with activities adapted accordingly and a ratio of up to 10 children per monitor.
After snacks, the fun continues nearby with skateboarding skills and games (note that the schedule is weather / group dependent)

S’Hort Vell Horse Camp
IMMERSIVE HORSE AND NATURE CAMP WITH RIDING, HORSE CARE AND CALM CONNECTIONS
A week at S’Hort Vell is a deep dive into the natural world of horses. The 60 barefoot & bit-less horses and ponies live outdoors in small family groups, and each camper is assigned a horse to care for with two chances to ride each day. The first is a small-group lesson in the arena or field, and the second is more relaxed — often bareback or focused on groundwork.
After lunch in the shade, it’s time for healing and hairdressing — brushing, braiding, and learning to read the horse’s mood. Younger campers also get to enjoy dog therapy sessions at the adjacent Nexes campus. To cool off, there’s daily sprinkler and water play, and plenty of time to rest or relax in the paddock surroundings.

Petit Cuiner Cookery Camp
GOURMET SKILLS, MARKET TRIPS AND MALLORCAN RECIPES
For children aged 9+, Petit Cuiner teaches practical cookery, knife skills, and international & Mallorcan dishes in a small group setting. Campers shop at the market, prepare a daily 3-course meal, and take home recipes (and leftovers!).
Every morning starts with a walk to the local shops — butcher, fishmonger and veg stall — where campers select ingredients for the day’s menu. Back in the kitchen, they prep their own workstation, learn hygiene basics, and get hands-on with skills like safe knife use, bechamel sauce or making rubiols. Each child cooks on their own induction hob in pairs, with plenty of breaks for games and downtime.
Great for budding foodies who speak (at least some) Spanish. This Camp is very popular – book early!

Bushcraft Forest School Camp
NATURE SKILLS, FREE PLAY AND FOREST FUN
Set under the shade of a majestic acorn tree in Bunyola, this child-led nature camp follows Forest School principles. Mornings begin with circle time and a song, using a decorated talking stick so every child has a voice. Campers build shelters, tend to the garden, create forest art, and head off to collect treasures, make leaf collages or rope bridges. A camp favourite is archery — crafting bows and arrows from forest plants and testing their aim in the trees.
Lunch is eaten together under the acorn tree, followed by an afternoon of forest games or water play. The straw bale splash pool is always a hit, built with a hose pipe and emptied daily to water the citrus trees. The 4.5-hectare site is fully fenced, with one adult to every 6–7 kids, and staff all carry walkie talkies to keep things safe while letting the kids roam free.

Mallorca BJJ Summer Camp
MARTIAL ARTS, CONFIDENCE AND COASTAL ADVENTURE
Run by the Palma pros at Mallorca BJJ, this self-defence-focused camp introduces kids (7–12yrs) to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, respectful and empowering way. Each morning kicks off at 10am with two hours of training on the mats, where beginners and experienced students learn and practise the day’s technique together. After a picnic-style lunch and sunscreen stop, the group heads out to explore — one day might be a coastal hike near El Toro Spit, another a visit to Rocky Cove for marine wildlife collecting, free climbing, and (a firm favourite) cliff jumping from 2–3m heights.
Afternoons wind down with chill-out time back at the dojo — no screens, just drawing, music and art — before everyone heads next door for a well-earned scoop at the local gelateria. Camp runs daily until 16:30h.

Kids aged 4+ are grouped by age and ability, starting the day with a 9am warm-up before jumping into skills sessions, mini games and group tournaments.
There’s a water break every 12–15 minutes, lunch under the shade, and a 40-minute cool-down break before the much-loved Slip n’ Slide comes out. Every other Wednesday includes a fun off-site trip — mini golf or Katmandu Park — and Fridays finish with an all-camp awards ceremony.
