Campus Experience Residential - Real Madrid Foundation, Madrid

Campus Experience Residential is the boarding format of the summer football programme run by the Real Madrid Foundation in Madrid, Spain. The camp is open to boys, girls and goalkeepers aged nine to seventeen, with separate intake groups for each and training groups organised by age. Coaching is delivered by Real Madrid Foundation staff and follows the club's own methodology, in a bilingual Spanish and English environment. The weekly structure is fixed. Check-in is on Sunday evening and the week runs through to Friday. Each day includes three training sessions and one values session, plus an experience activity in the afternoon or evening. The values sessions are part of the programme rather than an add-on: they cover respect, teamwork, equality, self-esteem, motivation, autonomy and healthy habits, and they sit alongside the technical and tactical work on the pitch. Training takes place at Real Madrid Sports City in Valdebebas, the club's main sports complex. It covers more than 1,200,000 square metres and includes twelve football pitches, changing rooms, multipurpose rooms, a medical centre and a cafeteria. If a pitch is not available, sessions may be moved to another facility within the Community of Madrid, which the provider states in advance. Participants stay in the on-campus residence of Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. Rooms are doubles with private bathrooms and internet access, and the residence has TV rooms, a dining hall, laundry service and overnight security. Campus staff supervise participants around the clock, and children leave the campus only with staff or on organised outings. Full board is included, with breakfast, a mid-morning meal, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner served daily. The residential week also includes a guided tour of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, its museum and official store, and a welcome pack with an Adidas Real Madrid Campus kit, a backpack, a bottle and a cap. A diploma is awarded at the end of the week. Optional services such as an official Adidas uniform, a goalkeeper jersey, airport transfer, a bus service, an extra night and a campus protection plan are arranged separately and are not part of the standard package. The camp suits families looking for a structured football week in Madrid with full supervision and board included, and works for both local families and children travelling from abroad.
