Overview

• Bernedo’s town council referred the case to the Ertzaintza to determine whether any crimes occurred at the privately run camp.
• Families of 13–15-year-olds allege they were required to shower together in mixed groups, that some monitors were nude or showered with them, and that a reported sexual harassment case went unaddressed.
• The organizing association, Sarrea Euskal Udaleku Elkartea, defended its approach in emails to parents, saying it proposed removing swimwear for hygiene and for youths to experience their own nudity as part of an educational philosophy.
• Basque regional bodies say they neither subsidize the group nor oversee such activities, while parents note they paid €375 for 15 days and question possible public funding.
• Parents report psychological harm among several girls, with letters describing painted-over mirrors and explicit imagery, and limited phone access meant concerns surfaced only after campers returned.
