aVenturas na Aldeia is a summer camp in Sarnadela for young people aged 10 to 16 who want a week that is genuinely unlike any other holiday. Created by Sónia and Mónica Ventura of aVenturas, this six-day immersive experience in the heart of the village of Sarnadela in Arganil combines nature, personal development, emotional management, artistic expression and genuine community connection in a setting far from screens, notifications and the digital world. Limited to 12 young people for individual and personalised accompaniment throughout. Glamping accommodation, all meals and insurance included.
The camp is built around the belief that adolescence is a decisive phase in the construction of identity, shaped above all through relationships and peers. Every element of the programme is designed to strengthen emotional awareness, create genuine connections and awaken a real sense of belonging. Participants are not spectators of their own holiday but active protagonists, involved in the organisation and construction of the activities themselves. The week unfolds at Vale Coelhos Country House, a private property with a swimming pool surrounded by nature, 11 kilometres from Arganil, in the village where the sisters Ventura spent their own childhood summers.

We are aVenturas, a project created by sisters Sónia Ventura and Mónica Ventura. More than a project, aVenturas is an invitation: to human reconnection and shared growth. We design experiences that combine connection, knowledge and genuine fun, carefully crafted to create moments of authentic sharing, mutual learning and memories that warm the heart and build bonds that last.
