GUIDE FOR PARENTS

In Praia Grande, near Colares, in the municipality of Sintra, 45 minutes from Lisbon. The camp has large, very cheerful and welcoming spaces. It includes dormitories, changing rooms, cafeteria, multipurpose room, training room, soccer field, swimming pool, among others, besides a huge outdoor space.

The minimum duration of the summer camp is one week, usually from Saturday to Saturday.

Depending on the age group, each monitor is responsible for between 6 and 10 participants. Each age group is supervised by a coordinator, and there is always a director or overall coordinator in the field.

They are young, mostly college students, responsible, fun, and committed to providing the participants with unforgettable moments. Roda Viva provides the monitors with all the training that ensures the quality, safety, and success of their activities.

Sports activities, team games, orienteering games, radical activities, beach days, surf classes, night games, and many more. We also encourage the completion of the day-to-day tasks of the summer camp in order to strengthen lasting friendships and cultivate mutual aid.

The Roda Viva summer camps are open to children and young people from all over the country, but also from abroad. Some are private, although the majority come from companies with whom Roda Viva has established a protocol. Roda Viva, concerned with the inclusion of children with some degree of disability, receives one to two of these children, sensitizing the participants to the acceptance of differences and making the experience much more enriching for everyone.

At Roda Viva’s summer camp there are dormitories with 2 to 8 bunk beds and changing rooms divided by age and gender. The monitors sleep in their own room, close to the participants’ rooms.

Good mood should come with it: Comfortable clothing, sportswear and shoes for outdoor activities Warm clothes for evening activities Bed bag, bottom sheet and pillowcase Bath and beach towel Swimsuit Slippers Hat or cap Sunblock Mosquito repellent Flashlight Personal hygiene products (shampoo, shower gel, toothbrush and toothpaste, among others). Roda Viva is not responsible for any damage, damage, or theft not delivered to its custody, and therefore recommends that participants do not bring valuables such as electronic devices (consoles, tablets, or similar) and expensive brand-name clothes.

Roda Viva has a group personal accident insurance contract.

All meals are included in the camp, such as breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner, plus, when activities warrant it, a mid-morning snack and supper before bedtime. On arrival days we include dinner, just as we include breakfast on departure days. The menu is carefully prepared, with the selection of quality food that meets the requirements of a healthy and balanced diet, favoring local commerce and national products. In order to ensure all food safety, Roda Viva follows all the rules and requirements requested by the HACCP company.

Roda Viva has acquired know-how in the area of food intolerances, particularly celiac disease, lactose intolerance, and diabetics. If any of the participants have any type of dietary restriction, please let us know at the time of registration.

Everyone’s safety is our priority! Our monitors, coordinators, and management are trained in safety and are responsible for the safety of the participants during their stay at the camp. It is also important to mention that our facilities meet all the requirements required by law. Roda Viva has a Vacation Camp License, n.º 133/04 and 735/10, issued by IPDJ (Portuguese Institute for Sports and Youth).

The training of the monitors and coordinators includes the obligatory course in First Aid, capable of responding to situations of a minor nature. We will only use over-the-counter medication if consent is given by the guardians on the registration form. At the request of the parents, we will be responsible for administering the medications brought by the parents. The information regarding the taking of medication (with time and dosage) must be on the registration form and handed in personally to the coordinator on the first day of the camp. This information is confidential and will be taken discreetly. For situations that may require medical attention, there is a health center 4 km from Holiday Camp (USF Colares) and the Cascais Hospital 17 km away. In that case, the parents will be informed at the time.

In order for participants to fully enjoy the Roda Viva Summer Camps, the cell phones of the participants are guarded by the monitors. Usually between 7:00 and 8:00 PM, cell phones are given to the participants to communicate with family and friends. There is a number made available at the beginning of the camp for anyone who does not bring a cell phone. The management’s cell phone number is also made available to parents for any urgent situation while the participants are in the field, so it is not used to talk to them.
