Clean Art Planet raises children’s awareness of the environment. This original activity focuses on the objects that find their way into the sea and are then rejected by the waves: plastic bags, bottles, flip flops, and so on are used in a series of workshops that focus on art and colour, putting emotion in the limelight rather than right and wrong!

Once the objects have been collected from the beaches by adults, sorted according to object and colour and washed, the Mini Club Med® can get on with the creative side of the activity, during which the children invent objects and stories, do photography, create large-scale works of art and put on exhibitions.

At Mini Club Med®, “Happy Nature Box” invites children aged 4 to 10 to discover nature through three fun activities:

• Happy Nature Box “exploration”: to show children the wonders of nature at Club Med… from the tiniest insect to the brightest star!
• Happy Nature Box “energy”: through the natural energy of Water, Wind, Earth and Sun, children will learn to get their fill of positive energy!
• Happy Nature Box “music”: to give the children the chance to try out their musical skills. They take part in a “fanfare of Nature”!

From 4 years old, participants learn to ski with circuits around figurines and under hoops at Club Med Pragelato; they learn to use the ski tow and snow belt.
