Once upon a time…

Two Valaisan villages write a beautiful summer tale between «friends»

Dès 1989, une première structure voyait le jour à CHAMPERY. Un modèle de séjours «Jeunesse Sport et aventure» qui prend alors le visage d’une révélation tant les retours des participants sont enthousiastes. Un concept, venait de naitre. Depuis, sous l’impulsion de Patrice JOURNE, il n’a eu de cesse de grandir et de se diversifier sans jamais renier son éthique fondatrice. Aujourd’hui ce sont 12 camps de thèmes différents qui accueillent vos enfants chaque été. Deux lieux exceptionnels sont proposés à SIVIEZ et à HAUTE-NENDAZ en Valais. Deux chalets conçus pour l’accueil des jeunes qui répondent aux normes de sécurité les plus strictes en matière d’hébergement d’un jeune public.

A man’s drive at the service of a curious youth

With Patrice Journé, a pedagogue of sport and knowledge, it’s always an interesting encounter: you can talk to him as an activity leader, teacher, trainer, coach, state technical director (tennis), golf, or theatre fan. A life inspired by sport in all its forms: initiation, teaching and competition. A career history as well as an entrepreneurial project or passion and management all combine to successfully overcome financial restraints, transcend sporting knowledge and promote the transmission of knowledge.

Sporting and pedagogical expertise opening hearts and shaping your talents

It all started on a tennis court in Paris in 1975 where Patrice Journé welcomed his first student and taught his first lesson as an activity leader. Several years later, he left for Wiesbaden in Germany to manage a tennis school. Then, it went very quickly indeed… As of 1983, Patrice Journé was nominated trainer for the national section of the Swiss Tennis Federation. Six years later, he coached ATP players. He managed, then directed an organisation designed for children and teenagers. CJSA was born. The foundations of the idea was laid; bring sport and adventure together in the heart of the Valais. It’s a matter of offering our youth unforgettable experiences and fabulous life lessons.
