however, a few coaches speak some English. For many years, we have
participants coming from all over the world and a lot of them do not
speak French but accommodate very well to the camp as there is no
language barrier.

The camp requires, on the first day of the camp, a
doctor's medical certificate attesting that the participant is physically able
to participate fully in all sports activities during the camp.
