Transport will also be arranged from there.
Ages & Languages
We offer this camp in 2 versions, one for 8 – 12 year olds (activities adapted to needs) and the other for 13 – 16 year olds.
The participants will all be in the same chalet but some activities will take place differently.
For participants aged 15 to 18, we offer our innovative, youth-friendly leadership program, offering a unique blend of camp participation and a specialized program.
This program is designed to foster the development of technical and soft skills through a series of activities, workshops, and hands-on leadership opportunities.
