What is the age recommended for carrying out the workshops ?
We have indicated the recommended age for each activity, but obviously everything depends on the agility and precocity of each child.

Are the workshops canceled in case of rain ?
No, because all activities can be done under cover, with the exception of hunting with a spear workshop, but it is rare that the rain falls continuously... and nothing stops the valiant hunters!
