Camp El Planet SL is owned and managed by a Norwegian couple; Elin Svennevik and Erik Nielsen. The management team is wife and husband. Elin is a graduate from Oslo School of Management (Marketing) and has been self-employed as interior designer since 2003. Before that she was a marketing executive for various companies in Norway. Elin has also been general manager for Ski IL Handball. Erik has a BS and MBA from the University of San Francisco and has been finance manager for a number of international companies for about 25 years.
Both Elin and Erik have since childhood been involved in sports; Elin mostly with handball and track and field and Erik with football and handball. For many years they have been coaching teenage handball- and football teams respectively. Erik has played in the Norwegian top division and has U-17 and U-21 caps for Norway. He has also spent seven years playing for various teams in California.
Elin and Erik have have taken Norwegian football teams for practice camp to the Costa Blanca on six earlier occasions, and they both have long experience in conducting practice camps. They also share a strong interest in the outdoors and spending time in the woods, mountains and fields. In that spirit they now want to spend the rest of their working careers operating their own “camp” and doing what they like the most; work closely with people active in sports and outdoor activities.
With a house in La Nucia since 1999 both Elin and Erik know this part of the Costa Blanca quite well.
