The leisure center welcomes twenty-four children per week

After a first year of trial, the leisure center of the intercommunal union opened from July 6 to August 21, in the former schools of Vierville. Every week, the twenty-four places for children aged six to twelve were occupied. A bus would pick up the children in the municipalities in the early afternoon and bring them back in the evening.

Director Mathilde Elissalde, employed by the union as part of a youth job, explained that the workforce was limited according to the number of animators. She was in charge of the center during the summer and other school holidays. The union also planned to make it available to associations of member municipalities. The children of the seven member municipalities were given priority, without excluding other requests.

Céline Olard and Amandine Planchon completed the team. The program was developed according to the wishes of the children, with an outing each week, for example to Festyland or on a farm. The proximity of the beach offered other possibilities, supplemented depending on the weather by manual, sports or educational activities.

The announced rate was ten francs for children from the member municipalities and twenty-five francs for the others. The information was then given in the town halls.
