Про детские клубы на курортах Club Med на примере Kani About children's clubs at Club Med resorts using the example of Kani

We returned last week from a trip to the Maldives, as always Club Med, as always in full force - mom-dad, Pasha 5 years old, Anyuta 6 years old and Vadim 14 years old. Thus, our family spent 3 years resting at four different Club Med resorts: Palmiye (Turkey), Les Arcs Panorama ski resort (France), Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) - this is all before the pandemic, and in January 2021 we visited Kani in the Maldives islands.

We have booked kids clubs everywhere and I am so excited about the idea of ​ ​ creating them that I want to dedicate the entire review to Mini Club.

What is a kids club at Club Med? The child's leisure time is fully scheduled, he has personal time for games with peers, swimming and creative self-expression, and parents also have a rest in the same territory and are available at any time. For children, no stress, but only courage and unrestrained fun.

There are timid, tender children (my average Anyuta is like that - if I were a kangaroo, she would have sat in my bag before her marriage), who feel bad without their mother, they are left in the club for an hour or two. There are no restrictions and limits on visits. As a mother, I will say that it is very comfortable. By the way, Anyutka gradually got involved and easily withstood it until dinner.

Firstly, all mini-clubs for children from 4 years old at all Club Med resorts are included in the All Inclusive package, you just need to book in advance. That is, parents do not bear any additional expenses.

Secondly, the children are constantly under the supervision of G. O. - gentils organisateurs, which means "caring organizers" in French.

Division by age
Mini-clubs are divided into age categories: 4-5 years old, 6-7 years old, 8-10 years old, 11-17 years old. But this does not mean that children under 4 years old cannot be taken to resorts.
You can go to some resorts even with babies, and to some only with older children, for example, in Kani in the Maldives, at the time of arrival, the child must be at least 2 years old. Only parents will have to look after their baby up to 4 years old.

Professional educators and mentors
In any country, professional educators work with children at Club Med resorts. Communication is mainly in English, although there are children from Germany, France, Russia in the group ...Children somehow miraculously understand their teachers and each other. Sign language helps. I want to note that such an international is beneficial to the younger generation - children easily learn each other's languages ​ ​ ​ ​ and try to speak them without complexes.

Entertainment
A rich program has been prepared for children, which includes sports, creativity, games, educational activities, family entertainment, in which parents take an active part and time for communication.

I’ll tell you, using the example of Kani, what my children were doing in clubs from 8.45 to 21.00.
What was in the program for my youngest (5 and 6 years old):
- a master class in the construction of sand castles
- master class in painting on the face
- coral farming lesson
- sailboat control
-kayaking
- flying trapeze
- treasure hunt

And they, like little scientists, examined coconut palms - I don’t know what they were looking for, but they obviously found it, because the children were delighted.
And, of course, there were many games in the ocean and pool.

The elder also had a productive time.

For teenagers, master classes in acting and directing, DJing and dancing were prepared.
The older ones had a lot of sports - trapeze, volleyball, games, snorkelling, sailing...
An important difference between the Maltese children's clubs and others at the Club Med resorts: for each meal, the parents took the children away, and when they were full, they returned back to the club. At other resorts, children eat under the supervision of mentors in a mini-restaurant. I do not know what it is connected with, but in Kani it is.
