A Breath of Fresh Air
We recently organized a kayaking trip to give the youth we serve the chance to get out of the city, fill up on fresh air and make the most of summer. This type of activity helps them improve their reflexes, concentration, resilience and risk management. Being physically active and spending time in nature also fosters an overall sense of well-being.
Parallels between sport and difficult life episodes
Our counsellors use outings like this one to draw parallels between the challenges that come with trying something new and the hardships these youth face in their everyday lives. Organized by our activity leader, Olivier Vrana, Dans la rue’s recreational outings are greatly appreciated by all those who attend.
