Our Quality Standard: How We Select Our Summer Camps

On the Platform ColoniasdeFerias.pt, the quality and safety are our top priority.

We know that choosing a summer camp is an important decision for parents, and that's why we strive to ensure that only the best options reach you.

Our selection is the result of a rigorous and transparent process, based on our extensive experience and valuable feedback from Portuguese families.

Our Experience and Market Knowledge

With 15 years of experience in the family services market in Portugal, we have built an in-depth understanding of what really matters when it comes to vacations for children and teenagers.

We closely monitor trends, best practices, and innovations in the sector, identifying summer camps that not only meet the basic requirements but also offer truly enriching experiences.

The Voice of Families: The Pumpkin Awards and Beyond

We believe that no one knows summer camps better than the families who attend them. Therefore, your opinion is a fundamental pillar in our selection process.

Through initiatives such as the Pumpkin Awards, in which families name the best holiday camps and camps with accommodation included throughout the country, we collected valuable suggestions and testimonials.

This direct feedback is carefully analyzed and integrated into our evaluation, ensuring that the courses we recommend are appreciated and recommended by those who matter most.

Strict Selection Criteria

In addition to our experience and family suggestions, each summer camp is evaluated based on rigorous criteria that include:

• Security: We check with partners about licenses, monitor qualifications and the safety conditions of the facilities.
• Program Quality: We analyze the diversity of activities, pedagogical relevance and age-appropriateness.
• Installations: We evaluate the conditions of the accommodations, leisure areas and equipment.
• Reputation: We investigated the reputation of the holiday camp in the market and feedback from other families.
• Innovation: We look for camps that offer differentiated programs and unique experiences.

When you choose a summer camp through Pumpkin, you can be sure you're opting for a carefully curated experience where your children's fun, safety, and development are our top priorities.
