About us

Mi-Adja means “my heritage”

Mi-Adja is much more than a holiday camp. Children discover the cultural wealth and traditions of the regions of Côte d’Ivoire.

Beautiful moments of friendship between the children of discovery and open-minded... Congratulations and thanks for giving the smile to my girls.
Mr and Mrs Amouye
My daughter has enjoyed the camp, her room, the entertainment, the games and especially the friends she has made.
Ms. O.
My children loved spending these holidays with other children! Thank you!
Ms. Agbada
The stay was very great, the kids are in the process of working hard to live again this time with you. They say that the time was really short for them. A colony of a full month would be ideal for them. Thank you very much for your professionalism. May God bless you and see you in the holiday, isn't it ?
Mrs. White
I would like to let you know that my daughters were all satisfied. They keep asking about you. They would love to live these great moments again with your organisation. But they did not like the mashed potatoes…
Mr Serge
Hello Aunt Gwladys, from our children. Thank you so much for taking care of our children. It was a pleasure for my daughter to take part in this camp. She really loved the different activities they enjoyed, especially the “swimming pool”. Thank you.
