The Venue


La Nancy is a big farm in Goyena.

There is a large, beautiful and peaceul outside space, where you could enjoy a lot of games and have some relaxing time. You can also see some animals like pigs, cows and horses.

This outide place is very natural, where you can feel the fresh and no polluted air.

Experiences

Here you will find some articles that have been written by people that have took part in the camp. So, read their stories and opinions to know something about La Nancy.

Routine
The Colonias Immersion camp starts on Friday morning. You will have to be prepared to promise that you won't speak Spanish and you will have to show your luggage to the customs workers. For that reason, all your items must all be in English.
Before breakfast and the introduction of the counselors, there are some organized games to get to know each other. The spy missions and recreational activities continue during the weekend but the visitors also have free time to relax, walk around the house, chat with friends, and so on.

Jobs

As you can see we didn't come here just to have fun. Imagine our faces on Friday morning when we found out we were going to have job interviews. We had some time to choose which job we would like to have and we did.

The jobs we could apply for were: Waiting Staff, Sport Assistant, Croupiers, Key Informers, Bank Tellers, E-Zine Reporters and Designers, and Bouncers.

They asked us to choose 3 possibilities, the one we wanted and 2 extra options.

On Saturday, they told us which position we had got.

Goodbye everyone, Let’s go to work!
