| | day camp | Explanation:
Not necessarily outdoors - they have indoor activities, too. Basically, activity programme for children on Wednesdays, and during school holidays.
The one in our village runs from 8:30 to 5:30 and offers activities such as pony riding, swimming, arts & crafts, judo, etc.

But to me, a centre aere is precisely that - a full-day programme, generally offered on Wednesdays or during vacation periods. I have never seen a centre aere running during school periods - then it would be, as Borderlands points out, a creche or day-care centre, which is not the same thing.

Precisely, you don't "go away" to day camp, because it is only during the day! It's local. The kids come home at the end of the day. |
