To support youth holidays in the midst of nature, the Foundation is accompanying Sport Dans la Ville, the first sports integration association in France, involved in taking over, running, and developing a holiday camp in an exceptional natural area.
The site will also serve as a training facility, an opportunity for everyone to learn to enjoy taking responsibilities, to gain confidence, and to discover the joys of enterprise.
The centre is planned to open in 2021 after building work is completed in 2020.
