DDCS – Collective childcare

NATURE ESSENTIELLE is registered with the DDCS as an ‘Accueil Collectif de Mineur’ (ACM) under the organiser code 006ORG0506.

As such, we organise courses and holidays for 6-18 year olds, at sea and in the mountains, with or without accommodation.

The French sports code does not limit the number of people on board a vessel or the ratio of supervisors to snorkelers.

As a single diving activity, unlike the concept of multi-activities, Nature Essentielle is not required to declare itself as an Accueil Collectif de Mineur in this case.

However, our serious commitment to the education of young people has led us to declare our courses at sea as ACM ‘Accueil de loisir’ (Leisure Activity).

As such, our constraints and commitments are as follows

  • Define an educational project
  • Declaration of each course to the DSDEN via the TAM application
  • Declaration of the instructors
  • Declaration of the number of children and their age groups
  • 1 supervisor for every 12 minors
  • Presence of a centre manager

Nature Essentielle goes beyond what is required by law and sets a ratio of 1 supervisor per 6 minors, always with a view to ensuring the quality of our service.

To this end, we are regularly inspected by the authorities.es de l’état.
