A program designed for the whole family
The Kids' Club, a space dedicated to children ages 5–12
During summer vacation, our kids’ club on Île de Ré welcomes children ages 5–12 Monday through Friday, both in the morning and in the afternoon. Admission is completely free, and the sessions take place in a dedicated mobile home that has been specially equipped to provide the best possible environment for the children.
Imagine your children heading off with smiles on their faces after a morning of supervised activities, while you take a moment to relax in the sun. Our activity leaders make sure to offer a variety of activities tailored to each age group, so that every day is different.
Good to know: The kids' club is open only in July and August, Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Activities for all ages
During peak season, activities are organized during the week to liven up the days and evenings. With occasional concerts and group activities, the campground comes alive without ever feeling overwhelming. Weekends are quieter, with the exception of a few musical evenings.
It is this delicate balance— a sense of community without excess, and a peaceful atmosphere —that makes the Cormoran so unique.
The water park, the heart of campground life
The heated outdoor pool is 20 meters long with a maximum depth of 1.4 meters. It is open all season and maintained at a comfortable temperature. Around the pool, lounge chairs and a shaded area await you for hours of relaxation under the Atlantic sun.
The aquatic area also includes:
- A spa area featuring a massage jet circuit and a whirlpool tub
- A wading pool with a slide, for children ages 2 and up
Enjoy a morning in the water before heading to our accommodations on Île de Ré for a well-deserved break—this is simply the rhythm of vacation.
