At Summerfuel we are particularly proud of our extraordinary program directors, staff and faculty. We believe that strong, nurturing and experienced leadership sets the tone for a successful program. The program is run by a senior staff that consists of a program director, assistant director and site coordinators who work in close contact with the homestay families, experienced local representatives who help select the families, and teachers and native recreational staff who are the key to accessing local culture and ensuring students get the most from their stay in Conil. Our senior staff often returns year after year and both they and the local assistants go through a rigorous selection process and pre-program orientation.
The leadership team and program structure emphasizes cultural immersion through personal attention, high quality academics, and exciting cultural and recreational programs so that students learn experientially by doing. There are at least 6 staff members in Conil and directors, local representatives and recreational staff meet with Summerfuel students daily to ensure they get the most from their experience. Students learn, make friends and have fun through the support and guidance of the dedicated and caring staff. The safety and security of our students is an absolute priority.
