VSF CAMP 7
La Cité des Cabanes
|
10 or 20 days - July and August (Dates and Prices)
Camp Location
VILLAGE
DES ENFANTS DE MOULÈS (Base Camp).
Located on top of a tree-covered hill, at the border of the "Causse de Larzac", our camp is a real Medieval village built by farmers and shepherds in the early 15th century. Isolated, it has kept its authenticity and charm through the centuries, with its traditional architecture, its stables, its communal oven, and its typical Medieval passages.

AVEYRON- FRANCE |
Children and Counselors sleep in bungalow tents (5 to 6 beds) on cement floors, with lights, beds and closets. The tents and the hower facilities are located in the woods at the border of the village, in the shade!
Plenty of rooms for activities, a library and a swimming pool are also available in the village.
Theme
Arriving at the ideally chosen site (big trees, rocks), the children are going to receive special instructions for their mission:
From an existing structure of platforms settled in the trees, 2 meters from the ground and accessible by ladders, interconnected with bridges, campers will be able to freely and safely climb the trees to build their huts!
- Our campers will be divided into teams and each team will have 2 or 3 days to build its hut using the same materials and equipment (nets, ropes etc…)
-
A specific name will be dedicated to each team and every hut
- The teams will build their huts separately but in the end they will group together to form a small community of huts .
Together they build "LA CITE DES CABANES "
• Construction:
The first few days will be dedicated to the construction of different kinds of huts using the natural materials and elements at their disposal on the site (trees, rocks, natural inclination of the ground). Bridges, decks, roads or nets, will connect the huts together to form a small community.
A specific theme will be dedicated to each hut: "The Living-Room", " The Sleeping Hut", “La Cantine”, "The Library", "The Secret Hide Out" etc. …
Our camp counselors will assist our campers and help them integrate smoothly into ther natural living environment.
• Interior Design:
Campers will design and build tables, benches and other pieces of furniture for their ‘village’. The interior components of each hut will be specifically designed to provide the specific necessities which will allow the group to eventually stay overnight for a day or a longer period of time if they chose to in their "village" (optional, depending on their motivation and the local weather conditions) To be self sufficient they will also build reservoirs to recover rain water. For their comfort, hammocks, summer beds, swings will be installed.
• Renewable Energies Workshop:
This workshops will be organized in partnership with a professional instructor from the Association " Découverte Causse Nature " who will teach the children how to create different installations using solar and wind energy to provide electricity for the village. As a Cantine” (kitchen/restaurant) one of the projects will be to build a natural oven in the ground using rocks and clay, a great way to bake bread and potatoes!
• Discovery of the Fauna and Flora :
Nature by itself is a tremendous encyclopedia. An opened book in which the children will learn to read the local flora and fauna, under the supervision of specialized counselors. They will learn how to recognize footprints from different animals, discover their feeding posts and hide-outs…They will observe nature, get to know the forest with all its plants, trees, and many flowers (like orchids, famous in the region).
• Eco-Participation:
- Maintenance of a hiking trail,
- Creation of an organic garden
- Creation of a puddle (digging, routing of the water, planting plants...)
• Nature Art Workshop and Artistic Installations:
With the help of their camp counselors, the children will create Natural Art, they will be free to express themselves in their own work of art using natural materials from their surroundings (pebbles, wood, rocks, flowers).
