In 25 person tents in the middle of the woods, next to a river. You’ll sleep in double or triple bunk beds, 200cm long and 70cm wide. If you like sleeping with a pillow you’ll have to bring it from home or you can make it by putting a jumper or towel inside a pillowcase.

In the middle of nature! If the weather is good, we have breakfast, lunch and dinner next to the Refuge El Fornell using wooden tables and benches. The tables and benches are protected from the sun by a gazebo, which is lit up at night. If the weather is bad, we eat inside the Refuge, using the tables and benches from the restaurant.

During the camp we’ll be taking pictures of the activities. You’ll find them here.

We’ve prepared the TRANSFERDAY for the children who stay at the camp for two consecutive weeks. An instructor will stay with the children and you’ll have time to do activities, rest at the campsite and recharge for the following week. Both the TRANSFERDAY and laundry services are free. Everything is prepared!

The week prior to your camp you will receive an invite to an online meeting to explain the final details and help put your mind at ease.

Of course! Canyoning is one of the most fun activities that we offer, and you can do it in the AVENTURA JR  and WILD ADVENTURE camps. It is an easy activity, and the river has exits along the entire stretch. The only requirement is that you can swim.

Yes, after lunch you’ll have free time to do whatever you want, like take a bath in the river, play table tennis, balance in the slackline, rest, sunbathe… all in nature!

You can arrive at the camp with both a suitcase and/or a backpack. The first day you’ll have to carry your luggage from the parking to your tent, but it will not need to be moved afterwards.

We’ll be sleeping 1,900m above sea level. On warm summer nights the temperature is around 10º﮿C or 12º﮿C. However, if it rains the nights are cooler, being around 6﮿ºC or 8﮿ºC. There is also the chance of cold northern winds in mid of July, where temperatures could drop to 2﮿ºC. For this reason we recommend that you bring a winter sleeping bag suitable for temperatures around 0﮿C / 5﮿ºC. If you can’t get a thick sleeping bag then you can rent one of ours. To do this visit the RENTAL tab or click here. Ask us for more information about our sleeping bags which are suitable for temperatures as low as -8﮿ºC. 

At the camp you have some specific gear available to rent. If you need a sleeping bag, a mountain bike, backpack or helmet… you can rent it and it will be ready for you when you arrive at the camp. If you go to JUNIOR ADVENTURE, WILD ADVENTURE or BIKE camp you’ll need to bring a bike. If you prefer you can request to rent one from us. Bike rentals are NOT included in the cost of the camp. You can make the request up until 48 hours before the start of the camp. To do this click here.

It’s essential to bring one (if possible two) pairs of hiking shoes. If you want you can bring a pair of hiking sandals, like the ones in the picture. Feel free to bring your wellies too!

We do canyoning with laced up sports shoes + a non-slip sole. This ensures adequate adherence to the rocks, and if they’re well tied it avoids them floating away downstream. We DON’T use flip flops, water shoes, pumps or anything similar for this activity.

Because we’ll be spending the day walking, looking, doing, touching, playing…and we won’t even have time to charge our devices…Ahh! There are also no outlets in the tents.

You can’t bring your phone. Many of you will arrive by train, boat or plane and having a phone makes things easier. However, take into account that once you arrive at the camp all the phones will be kept in the office.

It’s not necessary that you bring even a euro, EVERYTHING is included in the price. You can bring a maximum of €20 if you want to buy a Camp T-shirt, a hat, sun cream or something that you may have forgotten to bring. Take into account that the organization is not responsible for the money that you decide to bring.

On the last day of each week you will be able to buy clothes designed by us. All the sizes and colours that you want, to live Pyrene wherever you want.

If you decide to cancel the reservation, you will recover 100% of the amount paid (both the reservation fee and the second payment) if you request the cancellation no later than 45 days before your camp starts.

If you are a large or single-parent family you are entitled to a 5% discount. Remember to send us a copy of the card to info@clubpyrene.com. If you are staying two consecutive weeks the TRANSFERDAY and the laundry service are free.
