Registration will be done in two phases

1. Early registration: For children who were registered in one of the Espace pour la vie camps in 2022, parents of these children will receive all relevant early registration information by e-mail in February 2023. Please note that this message will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Amilia account. If you haven’t received this e-mail around mid-February, please check your trash and junk folders first before contacting us.
