OUR GENERAL DIRECTOR
"Few dedicate their lives to Summer Camps and fortunately I am one of them. In terms of Summer Camps, I have dreamed, devised, designed, built and directed them over 30 years. And I have a lot of passion for what I do because I deeply believe in the need for our children to learn to handle themselves independently in natural, challenging and controlled environments."
Passionate, professionally trained and 100% bilingual people. (We are the ideal camp for parents concerned about their children's Spanish Language Skills)

Graduated in Social Communication, Corporate Specialization. Mother of Alexa and Eva, the two Guaikinima campers. Since 2017, I have been living the magic of Guaikinima day by day at work and at home! Seeing the results of their experiences as campers in my daughters and at the same time being part of this beautiful project that it takes months of preparation makes me love more and more what I do.
I have direct contact with parents; I take care of their concerns and support them throughout the process of sending their children to camp.
I am passionate about being part of this great team and about giving our customers all the support and the best of the experiences.
