After 3 successful camps in Spain in 2023 and early 2024 in Murcia, Sevilla, and Malaga, Endless Summer is going on the road! We have had so many people repeat multiple camps that we decided it would be lovely to hold one in our neighboring sister country so we can explore a new area after the long days of camp.
The upcoming Summer 2024 camp on 4-7 June will be held in the only permanent year-round ice rink in Portugal, in the lovely town of Viseu, close by to Oporto and the "Venice of Portugal", Aveiro, which we will exlore in the excusions. The weather in Viseu should be lovely, with day time temperatures in the mid 20's.
