REQUIREMENTS
No experience required, enthousiasm the more.
Musical experience will be welcomed, but if not, you’ll be welcome too. But we feel that creativity accelerates by diversity & challenges. So we pursue different nationalities, ballads to pop/rock and youngsters plus elderlies. Minimum age is 13 years.
The group will be small (10-20), so lots of individual coaching and support can be given. Music-lessons cannot be expected.
Because participants from different countries are being expected, the main language will be english.
Honest naturist ambiance, where everybody is welcome, also non-naturists as most of us are. Accommodations from simple to ‘glamping’. Wide range of cultural & sports activities. Restaurant & bar. Daily fresh bread. Supplementary food available in the camping-shop. Big supermarket in the nearby village.
Creuse Nature is our host. Friendly & comfortable, mid-size family-owned campsite in the green, unspoiled & sparsely populated heart of France. Summers dry, not too hot. Sites spacious.
