S.d.S Sport-wochen

Every summer for over 40 years, the City's Service Sports (Sports Department) has organised sports camps for young people aged 11 to 17 called "Sport-Wochen". These activities take place during the summer school break and include the following: 5 "Mini Sport-Wochen" for young people aged 11–12, and 13 "Sport-Wochen" for those aged 13 to 17. These sports camps last between 4 and 7 days (with or without overnight stays), and are held either in Luxembourg or abroad.

Objectives

  • provide opportunities for boys and girls from all social backgrounds to engage in physical and sports activities during their free time, and in so doing contribute to their overall development and well-being.
  • enable young people to discover one or more new sports activities or improve their skills in a particular discipline
  • create opportunities for young people to have shared experiences, make new friends, and take part in activities in a fun and friendly environment of mutual respect between trainees and instructors.

During this programme, special attention is paid to young people's health and lifestyle (healthy exercise habits, balanced diet, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep/rest, etc.).

Programme

Supervision

Children with special needs

The "S.d.S. Sport-Wochen" are generally open to all children, including those with special needs, provided that the Service Sports is notified in advance of such needs and given all the relevant information so that it can review registrations on a case-by-case basis and provide additional means of support if need be. However, it should be noted that while the youth coordinators supervising the children are fully qualified, they do have the specialist professional training to look after children with special needs (e.g. children who suffer from an illness or have developmental delays, struggle to communicate, have a behavioural disorder or a sensory/motor/mental impairment, etc.). If it is clear from the information provided that a child needs specific individual care that surpasses the knowledge and skills of our youth coordinators and the Service Sports in general, the City of Luxembourg reserves the right not to accept such applications.

Minimum number of participants

The Service Sports reserves the right to cancel a specific sports camp due to an insufficient number of participants (less than 50% of the places available). Recommendations
