Keeping the kids happy this summer

Find camps and clubs for your children this summer. Tennis, golf, football, mini-golf, dance and plenty of fun. In Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Faro, Lagos, at Zoomarine and across the Algarve.
 
School is out and fun is required. There is a great range of camps and clubs for children to join across the Algarve, for both visitors and residents. Some you can join on a day to day basis, others are week long camps focused on a particular activity. All are fun and all are a great way to keep the kids (and Mums and Dads) happy.

The children will be active, entertained and outdoors, keeping them healthy and happy - just what they need! Parents can have some time to themselves or enjoy a child-free meal or evening, knowing that the children are having a fabulous time.

Here are some suggestions for clubs and camps that will help make this summer a great one for your child.
