School holidays are coming up and your job doesn't allow you to take time off. Why not allow your child to escape during the holidays via a summer camp. Located close to the family home, it offers a more economical stay, transportation is short, and your child can escape and discover new sports while learning to become independent and self-sufficient. Here are a few ideas of summer camps to discover...
Different types of stays are offered within the framework of the summer camps.
Stays at the farm
First, there is the unmissable stay at the farm where children can discover horse riding and learn how to ride a pony. This can also allow children who are passionate about horse riding to satisfy their passion during this stay if you don't have the possibility to pay them weekly lessons which are often very expensive. In some colonies you can even take the federal exams in horse riding. The children will have to take care of their horse but also of other farm animals such as sheep, rabbits etc... This week in the wilderness will give them beautiful memories to tell their classmates.
Count on a budget of about 500 euros for this type of stay for 7 days and 6 nights.
Nautical stay
With the first heat of spring, you can opt for a nautical stay at the Hyères holiday camp in France. This rather skilful holiday camp is aimed at teenagers between 11 and 13 years old and offers an introduction to catamarans, windsurfing and stand up paddle while enjoying the beauty of the scenery and the clear water and fine sandy beach. Culture is also part of this stay as a visit to the region and the island of Porquerolles is also scheduled.
For this stay, plan a budget of 450 euros for 7 days and 6 nights.
