About

About the Course

The Friendsclub is a supervised activity holiday by the Italian coast, not a language course. The camp area is exclusive to the operator and holds a chill-out lounge with sun deck, a pool and a kiosk, a stage in the Teatro where the camp's own shows are performed, a workshop and fitness area, the Holi ground, and a private path to the camp's own beach point. The programme covers football and volleyball tournaments, kayaks, creative workshops such as making friendship bracelets, and games such as a treasure hunt. A trip to the climbing park is part of the price; city excursions and festival activities can be added on site.

What’s Included

The price covers coach travel to and from the camp, accommodation in the camp's own tents, the operator's all-inclusive catering, the children's camp leadership with a 24/7 parent hotline, the trip to the climbing park, the holiday programme with the camp's stage shows, kayaks, sports tournaments, creative workshops and games. A pocket-money service and daily updates from the camp for parents are part of the package.

Accommodation

Guests sleep in tents on the camp's own area. The basic tent takes up to six people and has camping cots, a wooden floor, light and power. The superior tent takes four, with mattress beds in two separate sleeping cabins of two beds each, mosquito protection, a PVC floor, shelves, seating, a mirror, light and power; a two-bed superior tent is also available. Guests aged ten to thirteen stay in a Youngster area reserved for their age group, where they live, relax and spend their holiday among peers.

Meal Plan

All-inclusive catering in the operator's Special variant: breakfast with an extra-large choice that runs on into brunch, then a full cooked lunch and a lunch buffet with hot dishes, a vitamin break in the afternoon, a large buffet in the evening, and a midnight snack from the kitchen late at night.

Activities & Excursions

On site: a pool with sun deck, the camp's own beach point with a private path to the beach, kayaks, football and volleyball tournaments, a fitness area, creative workshops such as friendship bracelets, games such as a treasure hunt, and the camp's own stage shows in the Teatro. The Holi ground is on the camp area, where the operator runs its colour festival. Paid extras booked on site include supervised city tours to Rome and Siena, a catamaran cruise, a visit to a shopping centre, the Holi festival and an aqua park; the climbing park trip is already included. On the city tours the camp team is always present, and guests get a marked area where they may explore on their own.

Facilities

The camp area is exclusive to the operator: a chill-out lounge with sun deck, a pool and a kiosk, a stage in the Teatro, a workshop and fitness area, sports pitches, the Holi ground, and a private access path to the camp's own stretch of beach with its beach point. The Youngster area for ten- to thirteen-year-olds is a separate part of the camp for sleeping, relaxing and playing, with its own workshops, its own group activities and its own evening meal time.

Camp Experience

The camp is built around doing things together — by the pool, at the shows on the big stage, at the colour festival, on a city excursion. Older guests also holiday on the site, which is why the ten- to thirteen-year-olds have their own reserved part of the camp and their own programme, so that they are among peers when they want to be. Supervision is by the operator's children's camp leadership on site, the parent hotline is reachable around the clock, parents receive daily updates from the camp, and a pocket-money service is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the camp team always comes along. They explore the city with the group on a city tour that takes in the main sights and leaves room for shopping and snacks. At certain points on the tour there is a marked area agreed in advance where guests may look around on their own.

Shoes and shorts that are allowed to get dirty are a sensible choice. A shirt to decorate is handed out on site. Apart from that, bring a good mood.

Guests get the operator's usual all-inclusive catering and more on top: as well as an extra-large choice at breakfast, a full cooked lunch is prepared at midday, and late in the evening the kitchen serves its daily midnight snack.

Guests over fourteen also holiday at the camp. Because everyone is there for a good holiday this is never a problem, but younger guests also want time among their own age group, so the ten- to thirteen-year-olds have an exclusive part of the camp for sleeping, relaxing and playing, plus their own workshops, their own group activities and their own evening meal time with the younger guests.
