HOW TO
JOIN CHILDREN’S CLUBS |
| When making your reservation, enroll
your child in the appropriate children’s club. Space in the Petit Club Med™ and
Baby Club Med™ Children’s Clubs is limited in order to adhere to the safety
regulations and standards of child care structures and provide the utmost of care and
enjoyment for your child. There will be no exceptions made to the number of spaces
available. The age groups of each club have been carefully considered for maximum safety
and compatibility and will also be strictly adhered to. |
| Once at the Village, you should
register your child with the GO. (Gracious Organizer) responsible for the particular
Children’s Club. Advise the G.O. if your child requires any special attention
(nutrition, sleep patterns, favorite toy, etc.). Such information is invaluable for the
Children’s Club G.O.s as it allows them to help children feel safe and comfortable
around their new friends and environment. |
| With your cooperation and the overall
preventative health and hygiene measures adopted by Club Med, your children will be able
to enjoy a quality, healthy environment full of fun and games during their vacation at any
Club Med Village with Children’s Clubs around the world. |
| *Please note: a supplement fee of $29
per day for the Baby Club Med and Petit Club Med is paid per child at the time of booking.
This supplement is non-refundable and guarantees a spot for your child in the
Children’s Club. Children’s Club available only if booked for duration of stay. |
| Children in the Care of The
Children’s Clubs |
| A parent/guardian must complete and
sign the registration forms and attendance register for their child, stating precisely the
time they have signed their child in and the time they will pick up their child. When
children from 4 to 10 years. old have been signed in to the Mini Club Med, the G.O. will
give each child a bracelet, clearly indicating that they are part of the Mini Club Med. |
| Important: Children who are NOT in
the care of the Children’s Clubs or who are staying at Villages without
Children’s Clubs facilities are the full responsibility of their parent/guardians. |
| While in the Children’s Club,
your child will be in the good hands of specially trained G.O.s who have all met safety
requirements and training standards. A generous G.O.-to-child ratio is maintained within
each club. |
| Children’s Health |
| For children in the Baby Club Med and
Petit Club Med, parents are strongly advised to obtain a “certificate of health”
for their child prior to departure. This can simply be a letter issued by your doctor
stating that your child is in good health. It should be issued no more than 48 hours
before arrival at the Village. Please note that a “certificate of health” is
recommended for our Villages in France. |
| Only the parents/guardian are allowed
to administer medication to their child. Under no circumstances are the Children’s
Club G.O.s authorized to administer medication. In the event of a doctor’s visit, all
medical or hospital cost will be charged to the parents/guardian. |
| Children’s Meals |
| Club Med’s extensive buffets
offer plenty of choices for the little ones — from hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza to
international cuisine for the more adventurous eaters. Some Villages with Children’s
Clubs have separate restaurants just for children. |
| Children’s Amenities |
| Children’s beds, high chairs
and/or booster seats for restaurants are available to parents in all Villages; parents are
responsible for extra diapers and bottles. |
| Villages with Baby Club Med and Petit
Club Med programs offer strollers at no extra charge (based on availability). In case you
forget to bring some necessities, replacement items including toiletries, diapers and jars
of baby food may be available in the Club Med Boutique. |
| Children With Special Needs |
| Please inquire at time of booking
should your child require special needs; we will determine whether we can accommodate
these needs. |
