Camp Theme
Fun in the sun, swimming in the sea, and a chance to view marine life in their natural habitat is simply an amazing experience.
« Under the Sea »– that’s where you should be, when you travel to places with coral and beautiful fish-life.
Snorkeling is an opportunity to enter a world of fascination, color and serenity.
Everyone should snorkel, and with a little effort, kids as young as six years old can have a really fun experience!
Némo the fish-clown has been spotted along the coast of Leucate! Our campers are going to search the Mediterranean in the pursuit of Némo!
Activities
SNORKELING AND DISCOVERY OF THE LOCAL MARINE LIFE:
For young children, snorkeling is a great introduction to underwater sports and can be their first step towards learning to dive. Snorkeling is great fun, easy to learn and an ideal way to also build up confidence in the water! (This activity will be supervised by a professional instructor)
– Discovery of the under water sea life, first with a face-mask– without the snorkel. Let’s find where Nemo and his friends live!
– Learning to swim with fins: As a supplement to traditional swimming, and by evolving very easily in the water by means of small games (slaloms, races etc…) children will progress at their own rhythm.
– Learning to breath under water using the snorkel. Once they feel at ease, children will try real-life snorkeling in the sea.
– Drift fishing in the lagoon :
There the children will learn a typical local way of fishing called « La Pêche à la Caluche » a fisherman uses a boat to set the net 800 meters out to sea and the children who remain on the beach have to haul in the net, hopefully with fish, shellfish and crabs inside for dinner.
– Hand-Fishing & study of the local marine life.
– Accro-branches (Adventure course at the tree climbing center):
More than 100 adventure trails in the trees! Zip wires, monkey bridges and nets … so much fun!
– Kite Workshop:
Every child will have his/her own kit to build his personal kite. He/she will decorate it and competitions will be organized on the beach!
– Ceramic Workshop:
Guided by a real artist, our campers are going to design a collective Fresco following the theme of the sea.
– Artistic workshops:
– Wind mobile creation workshop (playing with light, the wind, sounds…)
