Updates Summer Program

As summer draws near so we would like to update you on the latest news about our 4th International Irie Eco Children’s Summer Programme located at the Alliance Française and running from July 12th to August 13th 2010!
We are happy to organize once again such great summer holidays and we are excited to see it shaping up!
This year, we will be offering drama, dancing, yoga, arts and crafts, sports, eco education, pottery, sailing classes and a lot of fun games. We’ll have a special focus on languages introducing French and Spanish vocabulary in daily conversations.
As per our traditional 3 different outings every week, we have again planned visits to exciting new sites to include the opportunity for games, treasure hunts, nature art and discovery of our wildlife in a wide variety of locations. We can already tell you that we’ll be going on a whale watch and a bird watch, on a historical tour with Lennox Honeychurch, horseback riding and ATV’s and kayaking. We’ll be going to Wacky Rollers Adventure Parc, gardens, beaches, rivers and warm waters. And we will of course enjoy our legendaries local lunches cooked on fire by river pools and bassins...
We are pleased to once again have sourced an interesting, eclectic, knowledgeable and experienced staff from all over the world. Meet them on their special page...
Our program is organised this year for children from 5 to 10-11 years old.
Younger and older children (up to 12 years old) are welcome on our outing days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) as long as they give us advance notice to organise transport and the younger ones (under 5) must be accompanied by an adult.
Our teachers are trained in non-violent behaviour management and are encouraged to be actively involved in every program.
Register you child(ren) today for a healthy, educational and interesting summer that they will enthusiastically attend and remember fondly.
