learn by playing

The natural environment encourages students to enjoy exercise and open-air activities.

Students have the chance to play conventional sports, sports related to nature (hill-walking, rambling, climbing, potholing, zip-wire, archery) and even some that they may never have come across before (bowls, stone weight-lifting, Basque pelota and tug-of-war).

There are also parties, musical evenings, theatre performances, outdoor barbecues and environment related excursions on foot, by bike and on horseback to help students get to know each other.  Half-day excursions are usually organised to nearby towns in the provinces of Cantabria and Vizcaya, and full-day excursions to San Sebastián , Bermeo, Gernika and Santander.
