Celebrating Fun and Sportsmanship at Rocroyens: A Day of Recreational Sports and Joy of Living

Everywhere on the grounds and in the rooms of the Rocroyens establishment reigned a spirit of competition and joy of living. 130 young people aged 6 to 20 were able throughout this day to try out 18 different sports disciplines in adapted workshops. Even if trophies are distributed, we focus more on recreational sport than on the competitive spirit. Everyone knows Pierre de Coubertin’s motto ” smiles Nicolas Ducarmes, then still director a week before his retirement.

Rifle shooting particularly appealed to the young participants.

It is true that the atmosphere was rather festive both among the young people and their supervisors. Among the classic sports, the Rocroi institute favored fun activities that were very successful, such as Segway, Frisbee, archery or rifle shooting. Everyone got into the game by actively participating in the workshops offered.
