What should my child bring for the week in the Children's Village?
For children from 18 months to 5 years old, it is essential to have a health record so that the team knows your child better.
Also remember to equip your child correctly: ski suit, mittens, glasses, sun cream, handkerchiefs. Don't hesitate to bring your child's cuddly toy so that he/she feels reassured in this new environment.
