“SPORT CREATES A BOND BETWEEN PEOPLE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME”
Our programs are created in line with the age of our students and the number of participants that each of our 18 sporting activities allows. The safety and security of our campers is paramount, and for this reason all of our activities take place within the grounds of Gaia Camp.
Campers enrolled in this program take part in an extra two hours of sports during the afternoon, divided into four 30-minute periods. These students therefore practice 12 different sports during the day: 8 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon.
“A PLACE WHERE WE BEGIN TO MAKE OUR PLANET A BETTER WORLD”
In this program, students have two hours of workshops and other activities which take place in our Gaia Organics building. We educate our campers in essential matters such as respect for the environment, ecological agriculture, recycling, water, clean energies and more. Campers learn through fun activities that show them how to be environmentally responsible.
Students who choose this option take part in 4 hours of sports during the morning and 2 hours of Gaia Organics in the afternoon.

Two hours of workshops, modelling and other activities in our classrooms with the methodology of LEGO education. Relying on the imagination and creativity of the children, our LEGO workshops encourage such important talents and skills as innovation, communication, teamwork and enterprise.
