Every year, in the second half of June, we organize what we call ‘Green Weeks’. During those two weeks, children from 7 to 14 years old, can spend a fantastic holiday playing sports and enjoying themselves under the constant supervision of ISEF teachers, coordinated by Prof. Franco Bagalà, ISEF teacher himself.
Young boys and girls stay in confortable rooms with three or four beds, all with bathroom. During the day they have: breakfast in the morning, lunch at noon, snacks in the afternoon and dinner in the evening, all based on genuine products from the farm.
Planned activities are the following:
– Swimming
– Volley-ball
– Football
– Gymnastics
– Badmington (mini-tennis)
– Ping.pong
– Traditional games (campana, ruba bandiera, salto della corda, palla avvelenata etc.)
– Draught, chess, risiko, monopoli, scrabble etc.
– Drawing and painting activities
– Folk songs
– Movies
– Walks along the Farfa river and visits to Farfa Abbey
– Visits to other farms specialized in breeding cows, horses and pigs, or which produce milk and cheese.
