For the second time, our international children's camp will take place

at Karta Singh’s manor " Le Martinet " in the Alps in the south of

France one week after the end of the Yoga Festival from the 10th to

the 17th of August. Le Martinet, situated in a valley surrounded by

pinetree forests and with a small mountain stream, it offers a

beautiful environment for the activities awaiting the children.

There’s wood for carving bows, starting a camp fire and a lot of room

for practicing Yoga, painting, hiking etc. The week is dedicated to

the Five Elements fire, water, air, earth, and ether, which can be

explored sensually in the great outdoors. The camp will be attended by

five Yogis and Yoginis and their aides, who all have a long experience

in working with children.

 

For the parents, too, there are interesting possibilities of having a

good time. Nearby, there is the " Eveil de Soi " week of Amrit Nam

Sarovar, there is the Yoga-manor " La Fontaine " 2-3 hours of (car)

driving time away, inviting for relaxation and grounding. Or rather a

holiday at the sea?

 

The expenses for this week are 260 € per child, siblings pay less. We

can arrange participation in a car-pool.
