Aqua Natura launches exciting Teen Camp 2026 packed with water fun, creativity and adventure
The popular summer experience returns with daily water park access, animal encounters and activities designed especially for teenagers
Aqua Natura Waterpark at Terra Natura Murcia is getting ready for another summer full of adventure as its hugely popular Teen Camp returns for 2026, giving young people across the Region of Murcia the chance to swap screens for sunshine, creativity and unforgettable experiences.Running from June 23 to September 7, the camp is designed exclusively for teenagers aged 12 to 16 and promises a summer packed with water games, sports, music, creative workshops and daily activities inside both Terra Natura Zoo and Aqua Natura water park.
Now in its eighth year, the summer programme has become one of the best-known teen camps in the region, offering a safe and energetic environment where young people can make friends, try new things and enjoy the outdoors during the school holidays.
This year’s edition introduces the new themed experience, “TOR EXPERIENCE”, which moves away from the feel of a traditional summer school and focuses instead on action, creativity and hands-on fun.
The camp builds on Terra Natura Murcia’s growing reputation for combining entertainment with learning experiences for young visitors and families throughout the summer season.
Teenagers attending the camp will enjoy:
- Daily access to Aqua Natura water park, including the new TORNADO attraction
- Water competitions and gymkhanas
- Creative workshops in photography, theatre, radio, film and mini short editing
- Urban art and clothing customisation
- Outdoor sports and urban Zumba sessions
- Treasure hunts, crafts and group challenges
- Exclusive zoo activities and animal experiences
- TOR Media Studio sessions exploring the audiovisual world
The programme changes each week, meaning no two days are exactly the same.
Parents can also benefit from flexible drop-off and collection times. Standard camp hours run from 9am until 2.30pm, while the “Wake-up Call” early service starts from 7.30am and the “Wait for Me” collection service extends until 3.15pm.
Everything takes place within the unique surroundings of Terra Natura Murcia, where teenagers can enjoy nature, animals and outdoor activities in a supervised and professional environment.
The addition of new attractions and water-based activities comes shortly after Aqua Natura Murcia officially opened its summer water season with fresh experiences for visitors this year.

Terra Natura Murcia, wildlife and adventure water park in the outskirts of the city of Murcia
Terra Natura Murcia is one of the most important and spectacular animal and nature parks in western Spain, and is one of a new generation of wildlife parks in which visitors can discover the concept of what's called "Zooinmersión."
The aim of this is recreate a habitat which gives an experience of being at one with the wildlife viewed in the park, so to this end more than 500 examples of 50 species of vegetation have been interplanted among the animal habitats, spread across an area occupying more than 165,000 square metres.
The planting has matured to create a comfortable and interesting environment which enhances the interaction between visitors and animals.
The planting not only softens the landscape, but also enables visitors to be closer to the animals and have direct human contact rather than the traditional forms of wildlife park where the animals are at a distance behind physical barriers.
The park contains over 500 animals belonging to 50 different species (some of which are in grave danger of extinction), alongside giraffes, lions, hippopotamus, lemurs, brown bears, Iberian lynx, Oryx, Iberian wolves and a White African Rhinoceros.
Throughout the year, Terra Natura Murcia offers different educational talks during visits to their facilities: giraffes, brown bears and otters.
One of the most popular areas is the falconry zone, where the displays enable visitors to discover the beauty of a great variety of birds such as the majestic flight of the peregrine falcon, which reaches diving speeds of over 300 km an hour, the eagle owl, various types of hawk, the griffon vulture and the buzzard eagle. One of the main aims of the park is to encourage contact and engage in interaction between animals and humans, and the falconry is a popular means of achieving this goal.
Among the mammals are Iberian and European Lynx, Mouflon and Coatis.
