Summer Day Camps with lots of activities for younger participants
Novas Descobertas Association Summer Day Camps give the youngest an opportunity to spend their holidays with activities in and around Campo do Vale. Participants experience the routine of the farm while having fun in groups through various activities, developing skills of inclusion and community learning, creating healthy ties with themselves, with the group and with nature.
Friendships are cultivated on fun days of challenges, caring for the land and society through activities such as: walking, crafts, theater, music, dance, the use of natural materials for construction, stories, traditional games, group and sports games, art and movement activities, sensory games, treasure hunts, orienteering games, gardening, harvesting, and cooking activities.
This Day Camp lasts five days, from Monday to Friday, starting at 9:00 each day and lasting until 17:00. These camps are non-residential and take place on our premises near Odiáxere, surrounded by the natural beauty of Quinta Vale da Lama, overlooking the estuary, the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Monchique.
