How to keep the kids busy during a camping holiday?

Camping Guide
Written by the Sandaya team

The holidays are always a very special moment to get together with all the family and explore a new destination. But whilst for parents it’s an opportunity to switch off and relax, your little darlings are likely to prefer working off all their overflowing energy. So how to keep them happily entertained during your camping stay with Sandaya? No need to worry, you can count on our bright ideas to reconcile a well-deserved rest for the grown-ups and fun activities for the youngsters!

Let our free children’s clubs take over

Supervised by our professional entertainers, the kids will be in very good hands at your Sandaya campsite! All season long, our free children’s clubs organise handicrafts, sports and fun activities so that your youngsters can enjoy a host of unique experiences with their new holiday friends. And that leaves parents free to make the most of the time to take a well-deserved breather! Available at each Sandaya campsite, the mini clubs welcome all children according to their age group:

- Babies Club for 0-4 year-olds (available at certain Sandaya campsites): games for early learning, to develop motor skills, etc.
- Kids Club for 5-7 year-olds: shows, mini discos, painting workshops, outdoor games, etc.
- Juniors Club for 8-12 year-olds: sports tournaments, bathing, treasure hunts, etc.
- Teens Club for 13-17 year-olds: sporting challenges, games, themed evenings, etc.

Whatever their age, your little campers are certain to love all the activities, each carefully planned to offer exactly what they want to do, when camping with Sandaya!

 

Get ready to make a splash in the water parks!

Summer holidays are made for hitting the water! And each of our 4 and 5 star campsites has a water park with swimming pools and waterslides that never fail to delight all the kids, whatever their age. It won’t take long for them to decide on their favourite bathing area: high-speed multi-lane slides to race against their friends, hair-raising waterslides for a serious adrenaline rush, a fun aquatic playground for those all important first steps in the water... Whilst our lifeguards keep a watchful eye to ensure their safety, parents can take time out for a lazy moment on the poolside solarium terrace. Everyone will be swimming in happiness!

Outdoor games and activities for all!

The return of the fine weather also heralds that of all those activities in the great outdoors. No more spending hours in front of a screen, it’s time to get outside for a great breath of pure fresh air! When camping with Sandaya, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to occupying the kids: playgrounds, mini-golf courses, bouncy castles, multisports grounds... And to have fun whilst learning all about respecting the environment, parents and children can discover our activities centred on biodiversity: learning about permaculture, picking fruit and veg, sampling the honey produced on-site... So many activities with real meaning for all the family! And finally, the oldest will be able to have a go at beach volleyball, canoeing or a tree-top adventure course, with all the family or their friends. The weather’s turned? C’mon everyone, we’re off to the games room!

Building a den in the woods or a sandcastle on the beach, which team are you?

Of course a family holiday is also the perfect opportunity to get out and explore the area around the campsite, preferably on foot or by bike to really appreciate it at close quarters! If you opt for a camping stay in the heart of the countryside or in low altitude mountains, trips out into the midst of nature are certain to be on your holiday programme. There’s nothing better than going hiking in the Landes forest, along the Dordogne Valley or to discover the Auvergne volcanoes, to immerse yourself in greenery. And that also means a chance to enjoy a simple activity all the kids love best, building a fabulous den in the woods! But if your team prefers a seaside holiday, then the beaches of the Atlantic coast, the Hérault or the Côte d’Azur will be the ideal playground for all your family sandcastle competitions. May the best one win!
