The children will be accommodated in rooms for 4 people. A common room equipped with foosball, TV, game consoles, and other board games will allow the children to gather during their free time.
The sporting Facilities
The children will be training at the Technical Center of La Plaine, which offers several grass and synthetic fields.
These are facilities designed for high-level athletes, ensuring continuous maintenance of the fields and providing spaces for medical care, strength training, etc.
Catering and food
Meals are provided at the Arsenal College.
With the pleasant summer weather, children will eat outdoors as much as possible, at large tables under the covered area.

Every morning, the children will have soccer training from 9:45 AM to 11:30 AM. They will cover all aspects of modern soccer through technical exercises. Depending on the positions of the children, coaches will set up specific workshops to help all children improve, regardless of their initial skill levels.
On Friday afternoon from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, a 4 vs 4 soccer tournament is scheduled.
At the end of this tournament, a closing ceremony for the camp will mark its conclusion, including an awards presentation and a camp review.
