A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TRIP

Pure action/Indépendance
This one-week stay in Serre Chevalier allows you to go for two days on a sporty star hike followed by a 3-day raid in a bivouac, for a total immersion in the mountains. The “pure action” concept is based on the maturity of 16-17 year olds and allows them to evolve independently during the various moments of life: activities, transport... The entertainment team plays a supporting and guiding role during the stay in daily life. 16-17 year olds are thus granted more freedom than in a traditional colony.
On the program: 5 days of hiking + 2 nights in a bivouac. The hikes and the itinerary of the raid are to be decided together according to the conditions of the mountain! Important: this stay combines children with adults in the sports village and during sports activities.
A gradual immersion in the natural environment with learning to roam independently: optimize the weight of your bag, cook well and with something light in the bag, choose the best bivouac spot and spend 3 days in the mountains in total disconnection.
