At the beginning of Afrotitude Home, there were holiday camps, useful holidays... At Afrotitude Home, holidays are not just a parenthesis: they are an opportunity to grow, express and discover the world differently.
🌿 Campers of the inclusive camp: the explorer tribe
Here our campers don't just come and have fun: they come manufacturing their future, reveal their talents, learn in motion and weave ties that bring them closer together.
1. Children and adolescents curious to discover, create and grow
Ages: 4-17 years
Profiles: students, students, high school students, out of school, from different neighbourhoods and backgrounds.
Focus:
The desire to learn differently,
The need to experience concrete experiences,
The search for a space to express and reveal oneself,
They're kids and teens who want to Do, feel, experiment.
Not just listen.
2. A camp that values talents and passions
Programme workshops:

3. A pedagogy of movement, nature and consciousness
Zoom in on the day of 1 August 2025 at the inclusive holiday camp of the Bepanda Multifunctional Centre, strong symbol:
- 🥋 Judo : learning to defend oneself, learning to master oneself → discipline & respect
- ♻️ Waste sorting workshop : understand its impact → eco-responsibility

Here, fun means also grow, think, and become an actor in his community.
4. Excursions to discover, open and belong

At Afrotitude Home, we're not just campers: one becomes a member of a tribe.
The Afrotitude Home campers are Explorers, creators, Builders of the future.
Here we plant the seeds of Leadership, the Consciousness, the creativity and the pride in being yourself.
🌿 Campers of Sikoum ecological camp: guardians of nature in the process
At Sikoum's ecological site, our campers become real environmental protectors and conscious explorers.
Here, nature is a living classroom: educational vegetable garden, forest, river, open landscapes... 🍃🌾💧
They learn to observe, understand and respect the ecosystems around them.
Through the kitchen zero waste ♻️composting 🌱, guided walks 🚶♂️🌳 and sensory workshops 👣, they discover a more intimate relationship with the Earth: a nature that teaches, responds and inspires — As long as we can listen to him.
These campers are encouraged to:
✨ reflect on their impact,
✨ ask questions,
✨ propose solutions,
✨ opening up to other lifestyles.
They leave with concrete gestures, responsible habits and a deep sense of belonging to a world that they will help preserve. 🌍💚
🌱 What we expect from them: commitment, autonomy and a spirit of exploration
In Sikoum, we expect our campers to arrive with:
- an open mind 🌞,
- the desire to disconnect from the superfluous 📵,
- the will to reconnect to the essentials 🍃.
We ask them to be:
- curious 🤔,
- respectful of nature and others,
Ready to get out of their comfort zone:
- cook with local products 🍲,
- manufacturing a travel diary 📓,
- traverse the forest 🌿,
- listen to the stories of the ancients,
- learn to reduce their waste ♻️,
- understanding the birth of compost 🌱.
Our wish: that they become small ecological leaders 🌍✨ — able to take initiatives, cooperate, pass on what they learn and embody the essential values: respect, humility, responsibility.
In Sikoum, they're not just campers.
They become ambassadors of the living, aware of the beauty of the world and their role in protecting it. 🕊️💚🌎
