Residential Environmental Education and Sport Summer Camps

The main objective of the Residential Summer Camps is to transform the summer period into a valuable time in which to offer children support along their path of growth, giving them the opportunity to meet other children with whom to share and experience the dimensions of play, creativity and exploration.

Children at the centre

The intervention methodology that characterises all the socio-educational services for children organised and managed by the “La Rondine” Cooperative during the summer period places children as active protagonists of the experience, rather than mere recipients of it.

For this reason, the structuring of activities always takes into account the needs of children in relation to their age and their emotional and relational development. The pedagogical project, extensively tested over the years, is reviewed, updated and improved annually by the working team (coordinator and educators) and will take into account the social context in which it will operate.

Every moment of the day is important in the life of a summer camp, because the way they flow into one another gives rhythm to the child’s time and helps contain any anxieties that the new environment may create, thanks to the reassurance that repetition and predictability provide.

Small group conversation sessions, in which children can give voice to their own experiences, will be valuable opportunities for educators to pick up on children’s needs and work together to build appropriate responses on a relational and play-based level, reshaping activities and spaces on the basis of the level of enthusiasm expressed. We believe, in fact, that children’s wellbeing is linked above all to the overall relational atmosphere that the summer camp fosters, which can make participation in play activities enjoyable and stimulating — or, conversely, strip them of all meaning.

Play will be at the centre of every moment of the day, giving children the opportunity to develop their own abilities through both free and structured play, always in the presence of educators.

The activities that will be developed through the Residential Summer Camp will focus on the following areas:

  • play
  • workshops
  • psychomotor activities
  • outings in the local area
  • group work.

Psychomotor activities for children support the development of the young child in a context that prioritises the pleasure of play, action, movement and relationship. Psychomotor intervention can therefore be conceived as a “facilitator” that supports the child’s development, accompanying them in the construction of their own identity. We will dedicate an entire day to this activity in collaboration with ASD Volley Revolution.

Outings will be organised across the municipalities of Badia Tedalda and Pieve Santo Stefano, aimed at discovering the territory and the nature surrounding the Piscina Nera facility, in collaboration with the Pro Loco di Badia Tedalda.

The working group that delivers the educational project brings together a range of different skills and responsibilities, all aimed at achieving the objectives set out above.

Poter contare su un gruppo di educatori che integrano la comune competenza ed esperienza educativa con competenze specifiche e differenziate, è un punto di forza del progetto educativo, in quanto consente di offrire ai bambini esperienze diverse altamente qualificate, unite alla continuità educativa che può essere garantita soltanto da un gruppo di educatori stabile, organizzato secondo un modello che tende ad individualizzare la relazione (piccoli gruppi di bambini seguiti dagli stessi “educatori di riferimento”).

A living tradition

History has handed down to us an unmistakable product — a treasure chest of local history, culture and tradition, of which we in Pieve Santo Stefano are truly proud.
