From fourteen to seventeen. The group travels together for the whole route, so participants are all in that band.
No. It is a touring programme with no lessons and no classroom. The camp is run in French by the leadership team, so a working knowledge of French is what participants need day to day.
At one fixed base for the whole stay, a motel set midway between Miami and Everglades National Park. Rooms sleep two to four and have their own shower and toilet; a double bed may have to be shared. There is an outdoor pool on site.
Full board, but co-managed: each participant takes a turn helping the team prepare the meals. Zigotours calls this a colonie cogeree, and it is how the camp is run rather than an optional extra.
A minimum of twelve and a maximum of twenty-four participants, with a qualified director and leaders at a ratio of one adult for every eight young people.
Scheduled return flights run from Paris to Miami. Joining from another French city is possible: a fixed supplement for around two dozen departure cities. Departure from Paris carries no supplement.
A passport valid beyond the return date, a signed copy of the exit-from-territory authorisation with the original handed over on departure day, a signed health form, parental consent for activities and image rights, and a copy of the vaccination record. An ESTA is required and must be obtained no later than seventy-two hours before departure. Anyone who has travelled to Cuba since the cut-off the US authorities apply needs a visa instead, because the ESTA will not be accepted.
In private minibuses driven by the camp team. That covers the moves between Miami, the Everglades and the Keys as well as the daily outings.
