5. What are the bedrooms like in Cantabria?

It is important to be aware that throughout the Campus students are outdoors surrounded by nature. The accommodation is in wood cabins and not in bedroom as in a residence. That said, living in the cabins is much more fun for the children.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR CANTABRIA:

CABIN ALLOCATION: Sharing of cabins is only allowed among students of the same sex and age. We do try to meet all requests regarding accommodation, but, due to the complexities involved, we cannot guarantee to do so.

MOBILES AND CALLS - MALAGA:

Students may use their own mobiles, which must be clearly marked with their full names and surnames (chargers as well as phones) even though these will be held under the supervision of the Campus, in order to avoid their loss and improper use. Students can use their mobiles on certain days between 15.00 – 15.45. The first days of the Campus are an important time for the students to adapt to their new surroundings and integrate socially with their new friends. It is not recommended to interrupt this process by encouraging a lot of communication with home.

Calls outside of the designated timetable are not permitted, except in case of emergency – please understand that this can interrupt activities or that students may simply not be onsite. Use of the emergency number is solely to speak to those in charge.

* If it is your son’s/daughter’s birthday and not assigned as a day for home calls, they will of course be able to use their mobile at the assigned time to call home.

As the name indicates, the ‘emergency telephone’ is ONLY for EMERGENCIES.
Parents can call the emergency number 24 hours a day (students are not permitted to use this phone).

The timetable for phoning home will be:

1st Course, 27 June – 11 July: Tuesday 29 June, Thursday 1 July, Saturday 3, Monday 5, Wednesday 7 and Saturday 10 July.

2nd Course, 12 – 26 July: Wednesday 14, Friday 16, Sunday 18, Tuesday 20, Thursday 22 and Sunday 25 July.

This timetable is subject to possible changes of which parents will be notified before the start of Campus Chelsea FC.
Please know that EMERGENCIES will be taken care of by administration.
The EMERGENCY phone number is 902 666 133.

Non-residential students are not permitted under any circumstances to bring their mobiles. Non-residential students are only onsite at the Campus during the day and having their phones with them seriously interrupts their integration into the group. We reserve the right to confiscate students’ mobiles if they are brought to the campus.

MOBILES AND CALLS - CANTABRIA:

Students may use their own mobiles, which must be clearly marked with their full names and surnames (chargers as well as phones) even though these will be held under the supervision of the Campus, in order to avoid their loss and improper use). Nevertheless, if parents do not wish their children to take their mobiles to the campus, the two onsite calling cabins can be used within the designated calling time.

The first days of the campus are an important time for the students to adapt to their new surroundings and integrate socially with their new friends. It is not recommended to interrupt this process by encouraging a lot of communication with home.

Calls outside of the designated timetable are not permitted, except in case of emergency – please understand that this can interrupt activities or that students may simply not be onsite. Use of the emergency number is solely to speak to those in charge.

As the name indicates, the ‘emergency telephone’ is ONLY for EMERGENCIES.

* If it is your son’s/daughter’s birthday and not assigned as a day for home calls, they will of course be able to use their mobile at the assigned time to call home.

* If at any point you feel that your son or daughter wishes to return home before the end of the campus, please encourage them and boost their self-esteem. It is important for their social integration, development and personal autonomy that they stay. Therefore, after the designated calling time in the timetable, please speak to us without them knowing that you are going to do so.

The timetable for phoning home will be:

From 1 – 11 August: Tuesday 3, Thursday 5, Saturday 7 and Tuesday 10 August.

Contact telephone numbers are: 942 63 60 06 / 942 67 92 46.

Times between which parents can call (even though it is preferable that it is the children who call):

• From 14:00 - 14:45.
• From 20:30 - 21:00.

This timetable is subject to possible changes of which parents will be notified before the start of Campus Chelsea FC.

Participating students can only receive calls between these times and it is very important for all parties to respect this, for two reasons:

• To help the integration and adaption of the students.
• For all participating students to arrange the time to receive their call.

Please know that EMERGENCIES will be taken care of by administration.

The EMERGENCY telephone number is 942 67 92 78.
