Children are guided by professional circus and performing arts teachers.

As the beautiful environment of Chantemerle calls for, there is also lots to do in the great outdoors. Kids can choose from group sports like soccer, basketball and volleyball. Badminton and archery, tennis, ping pong, unihockey, swimming, sailing, kayaking or stand-up paddling are also available.

Adventure parks such as Aqua Splash, Aqua Park and Zip Lining are also fun and safe outdoor activities. The highlight of the camp must be the overnight trip “sleeping under the stars” in the Swiss mountains. This exclusive outdoor experience will be combined with mountain hikes and games that develop knowledge and appreciation of nature. Additionally, the 2-day trip to Europapark in Germany with an overnight stay and picnic is also a favorite among all children.
