The government is launching a “Colour Pass” to encourage parents to send their children to summer camps. This is aid of between 200 and 350 euros per household for children aged 11.
Summer camps have been a joy and a breathing space for children for years. From now on, they will be able to benefit from a new subsidy thanks to the “Colo Pass”. The aid is between 200 and 350 euros per household for children aged 11. It is paid by the Family Allowance Fund. On the morning of Thursday April 11, in the Parc de la Villette in Paris, parents said they were interested. The “Colour Pass” should benefit families earning up to 4,000 euros of income per month, or 80% of households with pre-teens aged 11.
The glory days of the colonies in the 1960s
Summer camps had their heyday in France in the 1960s. They then took up to four million children. Today, summer camps attract four times fewer children than in the 1960s. For this new pass, parents will be able to deduct, once a year, the amount directly on the camp’s reservation site.
