Come experience a journey back in time!
IIL Camps is delighted to offer children aged 8-13 a fascinating dive into prehistory, in collaboration with Fun Archerie. This camp provides a unique immersive experience combining archery, ancestral survival techniques, and creative activities. An adventure where skill, history, and fun come together!
Each afternoon begins with an archery lesson, followed by a variety of manual activities.
Monday: the first day is all about settling in and discovering the site in Cartigny. After a safety briefing, participants will learn about the different shooting techniques and take part in an introduction to instinctive archery.
Tuesday: cave painting workshop, focusing on animal drawings. Each child will create and take home their own prehistoric-style fresco.
Wednesday: learning how to make fire using percussion and friction techniques. A workshop focused on mastering fire, an essential skill for surviving in the time of the cave people.
Thursday: discovery of the atlatl (spear-thrower) and spear, the ancestors of the bow and arrow, followed by a spear-throwing workshop.
Friday: archery competition to end the week on a high note, where everyone can put into practice the skills they learned during the camp.
A unique, fun, and enriching experience where children can step into the shoes of Cro-Magnon and discover the secrets of prehistoric life and archery techniques.
