Supervisor

The internship is supervised by a multidisciplinary team of professionals in sports, health, and support. Present throughout the stay, the supervisors work in a coordinated manner to provide a structured, safe, and supportive environment conducive to progress.

The approach is based on a balance between athletic demands, individual attention, and a supportive environment. Sessions are designed to adapt to different levels and objectives, while support outside of training (recovery, nutrition, injury prevention) allows participants to experience the program with complete peace of mind. This small group setting ensures individual attention for each participant and helps create a positive group dynamic, fostering performance, enjoyment, and team cohesion.

Management

Security

The safety of participants is a top priority throughout the stay. All activities are supervised by an experienced team, present at every session and attentive to adapting the content according to skill levels, fatigue, and external conditions. Group sizes are intentionally limited to ensure continuous supervision and individualized attention.

Each participant must have valid personal liability insurance . It is strongly recommended to have supplementary insurance specifically for sports activities , covering endurance sports. Proof of insurance may be requested before the start of the trip.

Participants remain responsible for their sports equipment , its condition and use, as well as their physical well-being throughout the camp. To ensure appropriate support and effective care in the event of an incident or fall, a health questionnaire must be completed prior to the camp . This information will allow the staff to adapt the sessions and intervene appropriately if necessary.

The training program is closely linked to weather conditions to ensure both participant safety and the quality of the sessions. Content, schedules, and formats may be adjusted daily depending on the weather, particularly for road cycling and running sessions. In case of adverse conditions (strong winds, heavy rain, excessive heat), some sessions may be brought forward, rescheduled, shortened, or replaced with suitable alternatives: technical work, strength training, mobility exercises, yoga, or indoor workshops.
