This year’s program is more than just fun and games; it’s a carefully curated experience that emphasizes healthy consumption and cooking habits. Children will participate in workshops focusing on nutrition and sustainable practices, making it both informative and enjoyable. Through these activities, participants will gain insights into making conscious choices about food and health—skills that are essential in today’s fast-paced world.

Visit from Santa and Friends
What’s Christmas without a visit from the jolly man in red? The camp includes special visits from Santa Claus and his royal pages, adding an extra sprinkle of joy and excitement for the little ones. These visits not only bring smiles but also provide a sense of wonder and magic that kids eagerly anticipate every year.
Reinforcing Educational Values
The Christmas camp has been a beloved tradition for several years, reinforcing the educational mission of Cerca in nurturing children and youth in Alicante. According to López, this initiative is designed to extend educational work beyond traditional classrooms. “This campus has been successfully running for many years, reinforcing the educational work promoted by Cerca with children and young people from Alicante,” she explains.
Serving the Community
The Cerca facility is not just a seasonal venue; it is a year-round public service within the Consumer Affairs department. It caters to various groups, including schoolchildren, senior citizens, and disadvantaged communities. The campus also engages with consumer and trade associations, highlighting its role as a valuable resource for the community.
Whether it’s through promoting good dietary habits, offering creative outlets, or simply providing a space for fun during the festive season, the 2025 Christmas camp at Cerca promises to be a memorable experience for children. It embodies the spirit of community, learning, and the joy of the holiday season, making it an essential part of Alicante’s Christmas celebrations.
