Testimonies and experiences of former participants
Signing up for an arts course or camp is a unique experience that allows young people to develop and explore their creativity. Many participants return every year to enjoy the inspiring surroundings and workshops led by passionate professionals. Feedback from families underlines the benefits of these programmes for children's personal development, whether it's gaining confidence, improving their drawing technique or discovering a passion for singing or acting.
Some young people explain that they have found a real motivation to pursue art-related studies, while others simply appreciate the richness of the exchanges and encounters within the groups. These courses are also an opportunity for parents to see how their child develops over the course of the days, both creatively and in terms of relationships.
We encourage interested families to consult the testimonials and opinions of our former participants to better understand the impact of our programmes. You can also discover on our website some of the creations made during our workshops, showing the development and talent of the young people who have taken part in our artistic sessions.
Is accommodation included in the offer?
At the moment, we only offer daytime activities, which means that the children go home every day. As a result, no accommodation is provided. If you are looking for a camp that includes overnight accommodation, we invite you to contact other providers offering camps with accommodation.
Artistic fulfilment as an adjunct to therapy?
Although our art courses and camps offer a caring and stimulating environment, they are not designed as therapy. Our workshops enable young people to develop their creativity and express themselves through art, but we do not offer specific therapy.
We do not work with medical institutions or therapeutic support structures. However, our art programmes can be an excellent complement to an existing therapeutic approach, offering participants a space for self-expression and personal development.
We invite families or young people looking for appropriate support to discuss this with their therapist or a health professional. They are also advised to check with their insurance company, as some cover may be available for offers specifically geared towards therapeutic follow-up.
