With school vacations come headaches for working parents who desperately seek ways to entertain their children and balance family and work life. In Santa Cruz, for children who prefer sports activities or are too young to attend free municipal summer schools, the City Council offers a series of camps and courses, although a fee is required. For example, the “general” price for the Multisport Camp at Las Teresitas Beach for five days is 73.50 euros, and for the Beginner Surf Course in Taganana, the “general” rate for one week (five days) is 46 euros.
