For toddlers aged 2 to 3 years old, the Petit Club Med at Club Med Lijiang offers a vibrant, specially designed environment where they can explore, learn, and socialize under the supervision of expert G.Os. 

The Daily Routine & Activities

The daily program focuses on early exploration, gentle sensory stimulation, and adapting beautifully to the crisp mountain environment:

• Outdoor Walks & Play: On clear, crisp mountain mornings, the G.Os take the toddlers out for gentle walks around the resort’s private, clean garden paths, letting them breathe in the fresh alpine air and play in the secure outdoor playground.

• Creative & Cultural Expression: Indoors, toddlers participate in interactive puppet shows, nursery rhyme sing-alongs, finger painting, and early-stage coordination games on soft, plush mats.

• Naps & Quiet Time: The facility features a dedicated, silent, and darkened sleep room fitted with comfortable beds, allowing your little ones to stick perfectly to their regular nap schedules without interruption.

• Additional Cost: Unlike the clubs for children aged 4 and above, Petit Club Med is not included in the standard all-inclusive package and requires an additional daily fee.

Travelution Specialist Insight:

“Parents are often nervous about leaving their toddlers in a new environment, but the G.Os at Lijiang are exceptionally warm and patient. Travelution Tip: The G.O team creates a private WeChat group text for parents upon check-in. Throughout the day, they will periodically drop photos and quick video updates of your toddler playing, eating, or napping, giving you absolute peace of mind while you head out on an excursion or relax at the Zen Pool!”

Designed for children aged 4 to 10 years old, Mini Club Med is the ultimate holiday experience. Fully included in your all-inclusive package, this newly upgraded program features a smart curriculum designed around positive education principles, building confidence, teamwork, and creativity through daily high-energy adventures.

Instead of staying indoors, your kids will step out into the massive mountain playground, learning a host of unique new skills under the direct supervision of energetic G.O coaches.

The Adventure & Discovery Lineup

The Mini Club Med daily schedule changes dynamically, blending exhilarating alpine sports, traditional Yunnan culture, and water-based fun:

• The Junior Academies: Children don’t just watch sports here. They learn them properly. G.O coaches guide kids through adapted junior group lessons in Archery (starting at age 6), safety-harnessed Indoor Wall Climbing, and the thrilling Flying Trapeze (seasonal).

• Indoor Water Park Fun: The G.O team schedules daily group visits to the massive, climate-controlled indoor water park. Your kids will splash through the dedicated toddler and child pools, race down the transparent winding water slides, and float along the indoor lazy river in a fully lifeguard-supervised setting.

• Nature Education & Cosmo Exploration: Leveraging the rich highland ecology of Yunnan, children join outdoor educational walks to learn about the regional plants and wildlife. They also engage in creative green recycling workshops and “Cosmo Exploration” space-themed logic games.

• Naxi Cultural Immersive Crafts: Kids get hands-on with the rich indigenous heritage of Lijiang by joining local tie-dye textile workshops, Naxi paper-making crafts, and fun interactive cooking classes where they whip up local treats.

Main Stage Stardom & Mini Evenings

The fun doesn’t end when the sun sets. Mini Club Med keeps kids thoroughly entertained into the evening, giving parents a chance to enjoy a peaceful, romantic dinner together at Baisha or Square.

• The Family Big Snack & Tournaments: Every afternoon around 16:00, children reunite briefly with parents for a massive, fun group snack, outdoor family arts and crafts, and friendly camp-style games.

• The Children’s Grand Stage Show: A major highlight of any Club Med vacation! Throughout the week, the G.Os rehearse secret dance routines and costume theater acts with the children. On select nights, your kids will step onto the main theater stage under the professional lights to perform a full musical show for the entire resort audience. It is an incredible, core-memory moment that parents cherish forever. 

Travelution Specialist Insight:

“The G.O team splits Mini Club Med into smaller, tightly grouped age brackets (e.g., 4-5 years, 6-7 years, and 8-10 years) so the activities match your child’s physical ability perfectly. Travelution Tip: On the day of the Mini Club Show, make sure your phone or camera battery is fully charged! The G.Os dress the kids in beautifully elaborate costumes, and the confidence your child gains from performing in front of a cheering crowd is a magnificent takeaway from their Lijiang holiday!”

Club Med understands that teenagers completely reject the idea of a structured “kids’ club.” Instead, Lijiang treats them like young adults, giving them an expansive canvas of independence under the cool, laid-back mentorship of specialized Teen G.O hosts.

The philosophy here is simple: nothing is mandatory, but everything is available.

The Dual-Age Experience

To make sure the social dynamics feel comfortable and natural, the resort splits its teenage travelers into two distinct groups during the summer months:

• Teens Club Med (Ages 11 to 13): Focused heavily on high-energy team dynamics, introductory mountain exploration, and building new sports skills.

• Club Med Chill Pass (Ages 14 to 17): A highly flexible, relaxed framework where older teens can essentially co-design their daily schedule. They can choose to challenge each other, go on a group trek, or just hang out.

The Summer Freedom Schedule

Because this program runs exclusively during the beautiful, lush summer season, the activities take full advantage of Lijiang’s great outdoors and weather-proof facilities:

• Adrenaline Sports: Teens gather for group lessons in safety-harnessed Indoor Wall Climbing, target shooting at the Archery Academy, and high-flying circus tricks on the seasonal Flying Trapeze.

• Social Hangouts & Gaming: The G.Os establish casual meeting hubs around the resort, often centered around the Pool Tables (both at the theater lounge and inside the indoor sports complex) and table tennis courts. It gives them a dedicated space to listen to music, play games, and bond with friends away from parents and younger children.

• Teen Evenings & Nightlife: After dinner, the G.Os organize exclusive teen-only socials. From private KTV (Karaoke) singing battles to late-night group pool tournaments, movie nights, and beach-style summer parties, your teens will have a vibrant social life of their own.

Travelution Specialist Insight:

“If you are traveling outside the summer window (like during the gorgeous autumn months or winter break), don’t worry, your teenagers won’t be bored! Travelution Tip: While the formal teen clubs won’t be running daily sessions, teenagers still retain full, complimentary access to the Indoor Water Land, the gym, the pool tables, and all regular adult group lessons like mountain hiking, archery, climbing, and yoga classes. It just means they will explore the resort at their own leisure with you, rather than in a structured peer group!”

The Amazing Family! program is a beautifully curated, weekly schedule of multi-generational activities. Fully included in your package, this program is intentionally designed to get parents, children, and even grandparents off their digital screens and bonding through shared, lighthearted adventures.

The activities are structured around five distinct pillars, bringing a vibrant, immersive twist to the stunning Yunnan highlands:

1. Time to Move (High-Energy Challenges)

Look forward to giant, laugh-out-loud family games like Bumper Soccer, multi-generational Olympic-style lawn games, and high-altitude Kite Flying Competitions where you can watch your family’s colorful creations soar directly against the backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

2. Time to Play (Upsized Board Games)

The resort lawns or indoor sports spaces transform into an oversized playground featuring giant, life-sized versions of classic family games. You can work as a team to tackle Giant Jenga, layout a massive game of Twister, or strategize together over lawn games like Mölkky (a classic wooden crate tossing game) and Connect Five. 

3. Time to Care (Eco-Adventures & Culture)

This meaningful pillar focuses on environmental awareness, sustainability, and deep immersion into Lijiang’s indigenous culture.The Activities: Families can join hands-on Naxi Cultural Craft Workshops (such as traditional tie-dyeing or Naxi paper-making), participate in guided family Nature Eco-Walks to learn about the unique highland plants, or relax together during a serene Family Lawn Yoga session in the crisp alpine air.

4. Time to Quest (The Grand Resort Mission)

You will set off as a family unit on a themed, digital or physical treasure hunt across the resort. Working together to decode clues, solve local Naxi cultural riddles, and complete fun physical challenges hosted by the G.Os, it is the ultimate way to explore the property while building team spirit.

5. Time to Celebrate (The Ultimate Family Party)

Step into high-energy, completely uninhibited afternoon parties hosted by the entertainment team. Depending on the day’s theme, your family can look forward to a spectacular Bubble Party or a vibrant Color Party packed with upbeat music, dancing, and endless laughter. 

Travelution Specialist Insight:

“The ‘Amazing Family!’ schedule is published daily on the resort’s digital boards and inside the Club Med App. Our Ultimate Expert Tip: Do not feel like you have to choose between the Kids’ Clubs and this program. The most seamless way to structure your day is to leave your kids at Mini Club Med  for their specialized morning lessons, and then pick them up at 16:00 PM to join the ‘Time to Celebrate’ or ‘Time to Play’ events as a whole family. It gives you the absolute best of both worlds!”
