Different? Special? Out of the ordinary? Unexpected?
Probably all of the above. La Ferme d'André is a camp which requires some adjustment by a visiting consultant, just as it requires an adjustment on the part of the children who go there.
The main house is set up to welcome children, it's colorful and warm. The children really feel at home. Each dormitory room is named for its wall painting, for example, "The Tree Room". The bathroom facilities on the lower level are clean and functional. Three other buildings (the Tarzan barn, the craft centre and the animal barn) make up the camp complex. There's plenty of outdoor space, including a riding ring and trails leading to a wooded area.
The site accommodates 60 youngsters, but you'd never know it , there is scarcely any noise. All are keeping busy, or rather keeping themselves busy. On arrival, each camper is instructed in the basics of appropriate behavior in general, and how to take advantage of the activities and get acquainted with the farm animals. After that, he or she can choose what to do with which counsellors or friends. It's up to the children to discover their own activities and interests, to make new friends, and to create the holiday which meets their own expectations. CONTINUE » |
