Some advice for the choice of a stay

It is essential to involve the child or young in the choice of his stay. Take the time to read carefully with him the program proposed activities.
If the child is very young (ages 6 to 8) don't forget to remind him that he can express its expectations and that it will be heard by adults, in other words that it will not "forced to participate" in all activities. If, for example,. He does not like singing, dancing, or write the lyrics of a song, it may certainly participate in other activities; Introduction to the piano, the guitar, to the percussion, draw, learn magic tricks, build a cabin...
For the larger, you must understand the actual motivations of your child to avoid any disappointment.
Our trips are before any focus on musical and artistic practices. the young must have the desire to participate at least in two or three featured activities on the description of stay chosen. Know that our programs "activities" "elective" initially presented are always enriched the field by other proposals from facilitators or some young participants.

Register a child with his brother, a friend...

If the age difference is not too large, it will be possible to share the same room on request on your part or the children who wish to be in the same room. Many adolescents are with their friends College, high school, or the musicians of their group of rock for example. This reassures young teens who are often afraid to not meet new friends sharing the same musical tastes them.
