Everything you need to know about Nawrass holiday camps

General

Nawrass is a specialised B2B service provider that organises holiday camp programmes for the children of European company employees. We deliver turnkey solutions that combine structured education, outdoor activities, and cultural immersion in Morocco, helping businesses enhance their employee benefits packages with meaningful family-oriented programmes.

Our programmes are designed for children and teenagers aged 9 to 18. Participants are grouped by age to ensure activities, supervision levels, and social dynamics are appropriate for each developmental stage. This segmentation allows us to tailor the experience so that younger campers receive additional guidance while older teens enjoy greater autonomy.

All Nawrass camps are located in Morocco, across carefully selected sites that include mountain regions, coastal areas, and cultural centres. Each location is chosen for its natural beauty, safety infrastructure, and proximity to medical facilities. Our sites undergo rigorous safety inspections and comply with both Moroccan regulations and European quality expectations.

Standard camp sessions run for one or two weeks during European school holidays, including summer, winter, and spring breaks. We work with each corporate partner to align session dates with their employees' holiday calendars. Custom durations can be arranged for larger groups upon request.

Our staff are multilingual, with fluency in French, English, and Arabic as standard across all sites. Activities and instructions are delivered in the language most comfortable for each group. This multilingual environment also serves as an organic language-immersion opportunity, helping children build confidence in a second or third language.

Safety & Supervision

We maintain a maximum ratio of one animator for every eight children across all programmes. For higher-risk activities such as climbing, water sports, or wilderness excursions, additional specialist supervisors are present to ensure the ratio is even lower. This commitment to close supervision is central to our safety framework.

All camp animators hold recognised youth leadership certifications and undergo thorough background checks before joining the team. Staff complete mandatory first-aid training, child safeguarding workshops, and activity-specific safety courses. We conduct continuous professional development throughout the season to maintain the highest standards.

Each camp has an on-site first-aid station staffed by a qualified medical professional during operating hours. If a child shows symptoms of illness, they are assessed immediately and parents are notified within the hour. For anything beyond minor ailments, we coordinate transport to the nearest hospital, which is always within 30 minutes of our sites.

Yes. Every Nawrass camp includes at least one qualified nurse or paramedic on site throughout the duration of the session. They are responsible for routine health checks, managing minor injuries, administering pre-authorised medications, and coordinating with local medical facilities in the event of an emergency.

Absolutely. Parents provide medication details and written authorisation during the registration process. All medications are stored securely and administered by our on-site medical professional according to the prescribed schedule. We maintain a medication log that is available to parents upon request at the end of the session.

Registration & Pricing

Registration is handled through your employer's HR department, which coordinates directly with Nawrass. Once your company has selected a programme, employees receive a dedicated registration link or access to our branded platform. The process takes approximately ten minutes and includes health forms, emergency contacts, and activity preferences.

The standard package includes accommodation, all meals and snacks, supervised activities, educational workshops, equipment and materials, on-site medical coverage, and 24/7 staff supervision. Airport transfers within Morocco and basic travel insurance can be included depending on the corporate agreement. The only items not covered are personal spending money and optional premium excursions.

Yes. As a B2B provider, our pricing model is structured around group bookings. Companies enrolling larger cohorts benefit from volume-based pricing that scales with the number of participants. We encourage HR teams to contact us early in the planning cycle to secure the best rates and preferred session dates.

Cancellations made more than 30 days before the session start date receive a full refund minus a small administrative fee. Cancellations within 15 to 30 days are eligible for a 50% refund or a credit towards a future session. Within 15 days of departure, refunds are assessed on a case-by-case basis, with medical emergencies receiving priority consideration.

Basic on-site liability coverage is included with every booking. For comprehensive accident and medical insurance, we offer an optional package at 450 MAD per child per week. We also strongly recommend that parents arrange travel insurance from their home country to cover transit, repatriation, and any pre-existing medical conditions.

Daily Life

A typical day begins with breakfast at 8:00, followed by a structured morning activity session that may include sports, workshops, or excursions. After lunch and a rest period, the afternoon features a second activity block. Evenings include free time, group games, cultural events, or stargazing, with lights out between 21:00 and 22:00 depending on age group.

Meals are prepared on site by professional catering staff using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Menus are balanced and nutritionally designed for active young people, featuring a mix of Moroccan and international cuisine. All food is halal, and we accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and common allergy requirements with advance notice.

Yes. During registration, parents can specify any dietary restrictions, allergies, or religious requirements. Our kitchen team prepares alternative meals as needed, and all dietary information is shared with supervising staff so that restrictions are respected during snack times and off-site excursions as well.

Parents receive daily photo and video updates through our secure digital platform. Scheduled phone or video calls can be arranged at designated times to minimise disruption to activities. In case of emergencies, our parent hotline is available around the clock and the camp director can facilitate immediate contact.

We send a detailed packing list upon registration confirmation. Essentials include comfortable outdoor clothing, sunscreen, a water bottle, sturdy footwear, and any personal medications. Specialist equipment such as climbing gear, art supplies, and sports equipment is provided by Nawrass. We recommend labelling all belongings with the child's name.

For Companies (B2B)

We begin with a discovery call to understand your company's objectives, employee demographics, and preferred dates. From there, we propose a tailored programme with transparent pricing. Once the agreement is signed, we handle everything from the branded registration portal to on-the-ground logistics, leaving your HR team free to focus on internal communication.

Absolutely. We provide each corporate partner with a co-branded digital platform featuring your company logo, colours, and messaging. Employees access it through a dedicated URL or single sign-on integration. The platform handles registration, document uploads, payment processing, and post-camp satisfaction surveys in one seamless experience.

After each session, we deliver a comprehensive impact report that includes participation metrics, satisfaction scores, safety incident summaries, and qualitative feedback from both children and parents. These reports are designed to support your CSR documentation and internal communications, demonstrating the tangible value of your investment in employee well-being.

Every aspect of the programme can be adapted to align with your corporate values and objectives. From the thematic focus of activities to the duration and location of sessions, we work closely with HR and CSR teams to design an experience that reflects your brand identity. Custom workshops, company-sponsored challenges, and values-driven content are all available.
