Every year during the All Saints' Day holidays, Discovery Week takes place - one of the most anticipated events in Cabourg for children aged 4 to 16. For ten days, toddlers and teenagers take part in dozens of activities.
In our region, there are many activities that you can share with your children - very young or a little older. But during the fall holidays, it's not always easy to keep your children busy, especially when the weather is gray. The tourist office has thought of everything by creating a Discovery Week. Something to satisfy all desires, and allow you (too) to enjoy this All Saints' Day break.
Activities for everyone
Activities for budding artists
Whether they want to become musicians, photographers or even painters, children are sometimes overflowing with talent, which they are eager to exploit. Here are some of the activities during which they can let their creativity speak:
- A cinema workshop, to learn the mechanics of the image and make your first compositions;
- A drawing course, to master a handful of techniques;
- Origami on canvas, to become an expert in folding (and leave with a unique work);
- Theater, to know all the tricks of this universe.
Activities for apprentice scientists
Children are never too young to learn. Notice to those who, like Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory, have a special penchant for science: Discovery Week has thought of everything. Here are some workshops that will satisfy them:
- Molecular cuisine, which allows you to understand chemical reactions and then use them to create original recipes. What to impress your guests at the next dinner;
- Making a candle or soap;
- The scientific police, to manipulate and carry out experiments (as in the laboratory), to solve an enigma;
Activities for the curious
No, curiosity isn't always a bad thing. In children, it is a sign of a certain interest in a multitude of subjects. Take the opportunity to register your toddlers for one of these workshops:
- Floral art, to create a unique composition, guided by a professional florist;
- A pony baptism, for a ride of about fifteen minutes and a tour of the stables. Does your child want to sign up for horse riding? It's time to confirm (or not) this new passion;
- Fishing on foot, to explore the sandy foreshore and observe the local fauna;
- The discovery of engraving.
Activities for future athletes
Children often want to try many activities, until they find the one that suits them. Good news: during Discovery Week, they can select a handful, practice them during a workshop, before making their choice. Enough to facilitate registration for extra-curricular activities. The sports offered include:
- The sand yacht, to let yourself be guided by the rhythm of the wind, while learning to handle the sail (to keep the trajectory and avoid going off the road… of sand);
- Karting, to perhaps become the future Formula 1 champion;
- Table tennis or padel tennis to work on your reflexes;
- The zumbakids, a sport practiced by many mums at the gym, here adapted for the little ones.
