Les Camps Futés day camps, operated by the non-profit organization Vision Loisirs, are offering an activity schedule inspired by the concept of thoughtful entertainment, which means to combine education and animation. The main mission of Les Camps Futés is to create an environment that is conducive to the development of youth.
A new way of having fun while boosting self-confidence. Children have the right to enjoy their day without always having to follow the intense rhythm of the grown-up world.
By giving meaning to the activities, children discover life principles in an "emotional laboratory". Through imagination, creativity, oral expression and collaboration, they will learn to use their strengths and talents.

The present moment

The hourglass moment represents the need to take time to stop and enjoy each moment. When the facilitator feels the need to adjust the excitement and intensity of the group, they lead a relaxation routine that lasts about two minutes. If a child needs a moment to calm down before resolving a conflict, they can visit the Hourglass Space in the coordination office where a variety of calming tools are available and will be introduced to them by an experienced and qualified coordinator.

The Guardian Mention is given to the child who supports and helps the activity leader and the other children in the daily tasks. It also symbolizes the child's contribution to the group, the objective being to highlight the child's good deeds. Therefore the Guardian Mention serves to reinforce the child's self-esteem. In addition, it encourages other children to adopt the same good behaviors and habits.

The « mic » moment illustrates communication. In addition to being a conflict resolution tool that assigns turns to speak, the microphone is also used to discuss various relevant topics in a large group. In the form of a playful discussion, children can become more aware of their emotions and those of their peers. This tool, regardless of the context in which it is used, promotes self-expression and listening to others in children.
The fireworks celebrate the simple joy of living. A choreographed dance is taught to the children to wake up at the beginning of the day, to stretch at opportune moments, and to encourage positive, friendly energy.
The team at Les Camps Futés (Vision Loisirs) is committed to supporting the child's development with a variety of entertaining and educational resources. These are used in many ways and may vary depending on the age group and/or the needs of each group/child. The objects featured in the Our Language section are only one example of the many resources we use.
Facilitating is one art, teaching life principles is another. Our concept combines the two through our smart language and a variety of creative activities. Children will have an enriching experience with unforgettable memories!
