What do we do?
A recreational project is set up for the children so that:
• stays are organised as holidays; moments of pleasure to forget the daily stress of illness;
• during the stay mothers enjoy a respite from caring for their children and are free to take advantage of the environment, play sport or participate in numerous activities/workshops (sewing, painting on ceramic, or cookery).

What do we do?
• Children have the chance to forget their illness thanks to the recreational and sporting activities organised for them or the whole family. • Indoor: crafts, drawings, glass painting, games, acting,
singing, tennis, and parties animated by a clown, musician, magician, or storyteller.
• Outdoor (in the grounds): playground (playhouses, swings, slides), team sports (badminton, volleyball, tennis, soccer, handball), bikes and go-karts.
• Outside the grounds: excursions, walks with nature guide, boat journeys on the Meuse, riding, swimming, fishing, visits to craftsmen, safari Park (Han), picnics.
