A number of REMPART workcamps welcome volunteers under the age of 18. Whether on a teen or adult workcamp, the minor is under the responsibility of the host association, from reception to departure.

That's why it's essential to provide the association with a health liaison form (download an example of a health liaison form) for under-age volunteers.

It should be noted in particular that this form, once signed by the teenager's legal guardian, authorizes the site managers to take any measures (medical treatment, hospitalization, surgery) made necessary by the teenager's condition.

French teenagers must bring a copy of their parents' Social Security registration certificate.

French adults (aged 18 and over) must bring their carte Vitale or CMU certificate.
