Month In The Mountains - Tweens & Teens Event
Back by popular demand, Month in the Mountains is our signature gathering— and it just keeps getting better. We’ve run this event three times now, and October 2026 promises to be our most exciting edition yet!
Up to 10 families will join us for a month of connection, creativity, community, and confidence-building in the Andalucian mountain village of Oria. Designed for tweens and teens aged 11–18, this month blends real-world learning with outdoor adventures, meaningful friendships, and personal growth.
