We often take advantage of the summer to satisfy our taste for adventure and our desire for freedom. Night in a refuge, canoeing down the river, bivouac in the mountains or at the edge of a lake, cycling: we all have memories of more or less wild equipped trips with friends or even alone. But when you become a parent, you tend to give up going on an adventure, for fear that the vacation will turn into a nightmare. And we are wrong! The adventure can not only be lived in family, but moreover it brings to each and everyone an irreplaceable experience.
Thanks to new encounters and sometimes improbable, or unexpected situations, thanks to the discovery of nature and a new environment, the children will be able to develop their curiositythe resourcefulness and their self-confidence. But it’s not about going on an adventure anywhere or anyhow.
