Most of our camps are designed for teenagers aged 13-18. We also have GAP year camp for older youth age 18-22, who have finished highschool and looking for more adventures and life experience.

We offer multiple sessions throughout the summer. Please check our website for specific dates and availability.

Campers will engage in a variety of activities including hiking, camping, zip-lining, boating, exploring caves, visiting waterfalls, and climbing mountain tops. We also include cultural experiences such as visiting local Pueblos, museums and archaeological sites. Each camp will also be given the opportunity to volunteer and give back in some way to the communities visited.

The cost of each camp varies based on length of camp, locations visited and activities included. Once your teen arrived in SMA it includes all transportation, all meals, accommodation, activity fees, and supervision by trained staff members.

Safety is our top priority. We have certified guides and trained staff to supervise all activities. Our camp follows strict safety protocols, and we provide a comprehensive orientation to all campers upon arrival. Emergency services are available, and our staff is trained in first aid and emergency response.

We maintain a low staff-to-camper ratio to ensure personalized attention and supervision. Typically, we have one staff member for every 6 campers.

Campers will stay in both cabins and tents, always in very safe locations. While we make every effort to ensure the campers' comfort, it's important to note that this is a rugged adventure experience. Our accommodations are designed to provide a secure and authentic outdoor adventure environment, equipped with necessary amenities for a pleasant stay.

We provide a detailed packing list upon registration. Essential items include comfortable clothing, hiking boots, a hat, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and any personal medications.

We provide nutritious and balanced meals suitable for teenagers. We can accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies if notified in advance. We will frequently be eating local cuisine prepared in traditional, authentic mexican cooking styles, but will keep nutritious backup options on hand if a particular local dish doesn’t work for your teen.

Campers are not permitted to use cell phones throughout the camp, but we have scheduled times for them to call home and check in. In case of emergencies, parents can reach out to our camp director.

We have an emergency response plan in place, and our staff is trained to handle various situations. Parents will be immediately notified in case of any emergencies.

Our refund and cancellation policies are outlined on our website. Generally, we offer partial refunds up to a certain date before the camp session starts.

Our staff is trained to support campers experiencing homesickness. We provide a nurturing environment and encourage campers to participate in activities and make new friends.

We follow all health guidelines and protocols to ensure the safety of our campers and staff. This includes regular sanitation, health checks, and protocols for managing any potential illnesses. Our staff is trained in first aid and emergency response, and we have procedures in place to handle various health concerns efficiently.

Registration can be completed online through our website. If you have any questions or need assistance, our customer service team is available to help.

Families are responsible for flying their child to either BJX (Bajío International Airport) or QRO (Querétaro International Airport). A member of our team will be there to meet your child upon arrival and ensure a safe transfer to the camp. Detailed instructions and contact information will be provided upon registration to facilitate smooth travel arrangements.
