Forest Camp Chamonix

A day with us

Two sessions, themed around nature and natural curiosity.

Every camp day has a morning and an afternoon session, with an optional lunch slot in between. Book a morning, an afternoon, or both, and add lunch whenever it helps. Mix and match however you like across the week.

Morning, lunch and afternoon

Session AM

Morning

09:00 – 12:00

Arrival, icebreaker, first activities and a gratitude close before lunch.

Session MID

Lunch

12:00 – 13:00

An optional, free midday slot. Morning children can stay on and afternoon children can arrive early. Bring a packed lunch, snacks and drinks, we don’t provide food.

Session PM

Afternoon

13:00 – 16:00

Drop off after lunch for the second half: afternoon activities, snack and free play.

Why we split the day

Because family life isn’t neat. Some children want a full day in the forest (book both). Some want a gentle morning. Some parents need an afternoon free. Splitting the day lets you choose the rhythm without over-committing.

A full day, minute by minute.

We don’t hustle children through an itinerary, but we do have a clear shape to the day, because rhythm is what lets a child relax into play.

What we actually do out there

Walks and mountain hikes

Walks and mountain hikes

Our main verb. Long walks between Servoz and Argentière where children learn to read terrain, notice weather and move with confidence.

Observation and experiments

Observation and experiments

Photosynthesis, seed germination, colour change, the weight of water, hibernation. Real science at a child’s scale.

Breathwork and emotions

Breathwork and emotions

Simple sophrology and breathing games. Tools the children take home and keep, not a one-week thing.

Foraging and craft

Foraging and craft

Berry hunts, herbal teas, shelter building, leaf creatures. Hands dirty, imaginations wide open.

What to bring.

Every day

  • A small backpack your child can carry
  • A packed snack
  • A reusable water bottle
  • Shoes they’re allowed to get properly muddy
  • A hat, sun cream and a waterproof layer

Good to know

  • Meeting point is shared the evening before. It depends on weather
  • Groups are small: you’ll always know who is looking after your child
  • We carry full first-aid kits and a phone signal plan
  • Allergies, medical notes and dietary needs: tell us at booking, we adapt
