More places and more weeks: Vélez-Málaga boosts its summer camps to facilitate reconciliation

The Town Council of Vélez-Málaga has introduced a new edition of its Summer Camps, an initiative that will offer more than 800 spots and, as a major new feature, extends its duration from June 24 to September 9. The goal is to reinforce family reconciliation during the summer period, responding to the growing demand from families in the municipality.

The program, driven by the Department of Sports, will take place in the indoor swimming pools of Vélez-Málaga and Torre del Mar and will include a wide variety of educational, sports, and leisure activities aimed at children born between 2014 and 2021.

The offer will be organized in three shifts, with the first from June 24 to 30 in Vélez-Málaga; a second block during July and August by fortnights in both locations; and, as a significant new feature, a third shift from September 1 to 9 in Torre del Mar, introduced for the first time following requests from residents.

Regarding the registration process, pre-registration will be open from May 6 to May 13, while the draw for spots will be held on May 15 at 11:00 AM. Subsequently, the formalization of registrations will take place between May 18 and May 21.

The prices remain affordable, with 30 euros for June and September, 45 euros per fortnight in July and August, and 80 euros for the full month, also including a 50% discount for the second sibling registered.

The Sports Councilor, Manuel Gutiérrez, emphasized that these camps are “a very useful tool to help families reconcile during the summer”, highlighting that minors will be able to enjoy “a safe environment where they can play sports, learn, have fun, and coexist”.

The Town Council values the consolidation of this program, which incorporates improvements each year, and remains as one of the main summer proposals of the municipality, promoting values such as coexistence, learning, and participation through play.
