The week for Young Park Guards organized by the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps in the Natural Park of Val Troncea has now reached its third edition. After the success encountered during the summer of 2023, the formula of the outdoor summer camp, managed by the official Guides of the Cozie Alps Parks, was expanded in 2024 with the proposal of two weeks: from July 15th to 19th and from August 26th to 30th. So far, we have told the first two experiences through the voices of children, specifically interviewed to collect their opinions and evaluations; this time we tried to hear from Elena Bianco Chinto and Massimiliano Pons, the two Guides who took care of 25 charming kids aged 7 to 12 in July and 12 of the same age in August, organizing games, educational activities, and excursions in close contact with nature.
Alcuni ragazzi che hanno partecipato ai campi estivi per Giovani Guardiaparco, organizzati dalle Aree Protette Alpi Cozie e da Polvere di Stelle tra fine giugno e inizio luglio 2024, hanno elaborato alcune bellissime riflessioni maturate nel corso delle settimane trascorse a stretto contatto con la natura. Nel corso dell’estate 2024, infatti, le Aree Protette delle Alpi Cozie hanno organizzato tre settimane residenziali per bambini e ragazzi con le Guide Ufficiali Tiziana Di Martino e Marco Pozzi, titolari del tour operator Polvere di Stelle, all’interno del progetto Life WolfAlps Eu.
Presentation of the educational proposals for 2024/2025 to teachers from schools of all levels. Appointment in Salbertrand (September 4), in Pragelato (September 6), in Turin (September 9).
Even during the summer of 2024, the Protected Areas of the Cottian Alps collaborated with the Municipality of Avigliana and Cooperativo Orso in organizing CampingJo, the summer camp aimed at young people aged 14 to 17 interested in learning more about their municipality and actively engaging in civic volunteering.
The team of Young Park Rangers on which the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps can rely continues to grow. Indeed, the Young Ranger Week in the Natural Park of Val Troncea, organized and managed by the Park Authority with official guides Elena Bianco Chinto and Massimiliano Pons, concluded on Friday, July 19th.
The end of the school year is approaching with the beginning of summer holidays, so it's time to propose Summer Camps. Marco Vozza, official guide of the Cozie Alps Parks, talks about the new proposal in the Orsiera Rocciavrè Nature Park, aimed at elementary school children and middle school students. These are stays aimed at elementary school children (7-11 years) and middle school students (11-14 years) lasting 6 days with overnight stays at the Amprimo, Toesca, and Geat Val Gravio shelters.
