The financial accessibility of children's camps: a French challenge to renew their popularity.

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the financial accessibility of children's camps in France, identifying organizers that have decided to conceive low-cost camps, grasping their particular ways of offering low-cost camps, and revealing their motives. The first part of the chapter explores the links between social tourism and children's camps in France, assuming that the current camps must be analysed against the models of social tourism. The second part of the chapter specifies the financial issues and outlines the camps' characteristics, giving the price levels.
