VPA: Let’s go for two months with Children camp holidays!

by Jean-Noël Castagnet

A new adventure begins for the Vacances Plein Air center in Gujan-Mestras. The first stay began on July 11 until 21 with children aged 6 to 12 coming mainly from Dordogne and will be followed from July 24 to August 6 by children from Gironde and then from August 9 to August 22 by Parisians and from Ile de France Est.

3 stays of 14 days for 110 children per stay. All these little budies, are supervised by 4 management staff, 18 BAFA instructors and 12 service staff. A small company for more than 2 months. Busy days with many activities such as introduction to sailing at the Cazaux Nautical Center; Gujan “La Coccinelle” leisure park; tree climbing and various games in the center without forgetting of course swimming in the various beaches of the Arcachon basin. Vision screening and dental check out are offered. A big thank you to the LIONS Clubs for their mobilization, to find, within the various local organizations and homes, children often from disadvantaged families, and allow them to spend a dream vacation.
