These camps are supervised programs either for children or teenagers, where different activities such as hiking, canyoning and campfires take place.The main objective of these camps is giving educational, cultural and social development to the campers.

The organization of the camp is often based on specific themes, trying to help on the skills and personal development of the participants.
