Les Bons Enfants vacations themes
It was Baden Powel's initiative that "adventure left the space of the novel to become the organizing principle of a youth on the move".
This educational choice to establish an imaginary framework is not insignificant. The dream element that emerges nourishes children's aspirations and their natural inclination for discovery.
A child full of dreams is a forward-looking being, full of hope and optimism!
So here's what's in store for the children in our care, to fuel their dreams and inspire them...

Christopher Columbus: from Andalusia to the Americas
1492: this date rings in our ears like an ode to exploration.
While Christopher Columbus' voyage is an unmissable historical event, it evokes in our romantic minds the prowess of a determined man, caravels sailing across the seas, an unspoiled continent and encounters with a native population.
So it's this adventurous journey that we propose to children, to cast in their eyes that magic powder, that little seed that might germinate, encouraging them to dare to move forward into the unknown.

Journey to the Inuit
If there's one people whose culture is shaped by their environment, it's the Inuit.
It's hard for us to imagine this nomadic life in the Arctic lands of Greenland and Canada...
The Inuit experience has a lot to tell children: about the pack ice and its wildlife, about their ancestral traditions, about the indigenous peoples and about the current issues linked to the survival of these Men of the Cold.
And kids won't get through these weeks without a bit of snowshoeing...
Let's head for the Great North!
Sports: Arctic winter games (races, snowshoeing and typical jumps) and curling.

It's through these myths, with their evocative morals and heroes endowed with very human qualities, that children will make the journey to the Orient, discovering a civilization, an era and colorful odysseys.

Tai-chi-chuan is a Chinese martial art based on relaxation techniques linked to breathing.
