Summertime means Adventure Time and our Summer Initiatives provide our community the ideal adventure. Each week throughout July and August (6 Weeks Total) we create an experience that ensures a week full of FUN, ADVENTURE and CHALLENGE for our young people and their families. Today, we run three Camps for 600 children and young people and provide entertainment for local families by running the pedalo swans during the summer.Langues parlées
