This is from a leaflet advertising the facilities offered by a spa in the French Alps. In this section, they are discussing the nightlife and other activities that those visiting the spa can carry out during their stay.

I am not sure of the best translation of 'éveil tonique' in this context.

Many thanks in advance!

For the children's session, "éveil" in the educational sense - usually translates as early learning, but maybe here there is more an idea of discovery activities.
