​There are several sessions prior to the summer camp to train the staff involved in the program, with a clear focus on roles and responsibilities (Center Director, teachers, monitores, and residence advisors). In addition, the team receives a “Summer Camp Guide” containing all relevant information about the program. Among these sessions, we conduct a Health & Safety (H&S) session to better prepare the staff.

We activate dynamics with the group as soon as the summer camp starts. We have a comprehensive orientation where we highlight respect and support diversity and inclusion practices.

The camp still needs to provide this information. Please get in touch with them through this page to request more info.

Camp goers are allowed a limited usage of their phone during their free time.

This camp was founded in 2026.
