The low rate is EUR11 per night. EUR7 per night for children over 4 years old.
The standard rate is EUR22 per night. EUR13 per night for children over 4 years old.
The solidarity rate, EUR33 per night.
You can choose a price per night between the indicative rates.

SELF-MANAGEMENT AND TASK SHARING
During the Summer Days, we form teams to prepare meals, provide services, wash dishes, take care of maintenance, etc. In short, we practice self-management on a small scale !

Also for assembly and disassembly, we need about fifteen comrades, you can register here: https://lite.framacalc.org/bbfixco6bs-aem9

RELAXATION
The program is rich so that everyone can find something for them, but the summer week is also a time for relaxation, for walking, swimming, playing sports or just doing nothing.

CHILDREN
Throughout the week, a professional activity leader will lead the children's activities at the center. Children will be free to choose the activities that interest them, and the activity leaders will be responsible for coordinating the stay with the young people.

ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation is primarily in tents (your own), but a dormitory (note: this is an enclosed space) is available for people with special needs. It's also possible to sleep elsewhere than on site, but it's less convenient and less welcoming.
