Le Vabre Youth Holiday Centre

Discover the Centre de Vacance Le Vabre in Boulc! Ideal for summer camps, this place promises adventure and unforgettable memories for your children in the heart of nature.

Located in a mountain setting in the heart of the Diois region, our camp has been welcoming children since 1953, in a friendly, family atmosphere.
Children are divided by age and sex in three dormitories and a marabout (used for older children).
To refresh young and old alike, we have a private swimming pool with a large pool and a paddling pool, fully fenced in to guarantee everyone's safety.
An equipment room, a dress-up room and a library give free rein to the children's imagination (always under the supervision of an activity leader or staff member).
We are committed to developing the creative spirit, imagination and respect for nature of our campers, through manual activities (bracelets, dream catchers, etc.), sports (bicycles, aquatic activities in the pool, etc.) and outdoor activities (hiking, camping, etc.), thanks to our location in the countryside, far from residential areas, 3 km from the village of Boulc.
Our proximity to nature means that we can take children to discover the flora and fauna, either through activities or accompanied by the village forest ranger.
We propose a new theme each year, which serves as a common thread for our activities and games over a 3-week period.
Sunday lunchtimes in the first and second weeks are parents' days, when adults can come and see their children, who have prepared a show during the week, over a meal.
The Friday evening of the third week is the Boulcois meal, when we invite everyone in the village to come and share a dinner with our colonists, and a show specially prepared by the children.
prepared by the children: a moment of intergenerational sharing.
