Give your child unforgettable memories!
Holiday camps offer a unique opportunity to gain a degree of independence while having fun.To give your teenagers an extraordinary escape, nothing beats taking them on an outdoor adventure by cycling La Vélodyssée! This type of touring holiday encourages responsibility: looking after equipment (bike, luggage), finding your way using a bike as transport, and taking an active part in preparing meals.
Is your teenager not sporty? Don't panic, the La Vélodyssée route is particularly suited to novices and beginners, with almost no hills and suitable facilities.
Several organisations offer holiday camps along La Vélodyssée, each with its own specifics and approach.
This holiday camp taught me how to camp (pitching the tent, preparing meals). I made incredible friends and I cycled a lot, and it was great. Clara
