Attractive new Athena goodies
Stylish and conscious
Last summer we successfully launched our cheerful, practical and eco-friendly new collection. The result of an inspiring collaboration with Studio Basil - which also provides the layout of our magazines - and Merchery, a supplier that values sustainability.
As an association that respects people and nature, we wished to partner with a merchandising partner that shares the same values.
Merchery believes in quality, transparency and products that are both aesthetically and environmentally conscious. The company uses only responsible raw materials: 100% organic cotton, recycled steel and aluminum, and alternatives to harmful plastics: recovered and biodegradable plastics. Their selection of premium brands meets rigorous standards; the products are designed to last.
The new goodies will not only make you look cool, you will also contribute to a better future for our planet.
A beautiful way to show your connection to Athena and to nature. And maybe already a surprising gift idea for the holidays?
T-shirts, bathrobes, totebags, beach bags, drink bottles, towels, ...
LINK: CURIOUS ABOUT OUR GOODIES
Last year we started a plan to address the signage at our parks. It needed to be brighter, more inviting and more contemporary. Determining the right content, the best design, the most suitable materials and the ideal supplier was ... quite a journey.
Meanwhile, the first clear, playful and durable signs at Ossendrecht are ready. Now we can fine-tune where necessary from practice. To then continue working on our three parks later this year and in 2025.
More of that to come. We are already proud.
playground Ossendrecht
This spring the adventure playground at Athena Ossendrecht was installed in just two days. That same Tuesday afternoon, April 23, the inspection already took place. This allowed us to open our brand new playground on May 1 as planned.
We get super positive reactions. It's great to see how children first walk carefully and a little scared over the balance beams, only to find their way around this course more and more smoothly and happily.
- family swing
- play tower with super long slide
- height course with balance beams
For the next twenty years, small and somewhat larger can have plenty of fun in this inviting place. In fact, the playground turns out to be so attractive that many adults have already tried it out. On the family swing, moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas have fun with their children and grandchildren.
For the little ones, there is the existing playhouse with swing and sandbox.
In short: everyone happy!
Yes, finally spring again!
The camping fun at our three parks starts again. We are ready with our whole team to give you a warm welcome and to make your stay carefree. So you can enjoy the peace and quiet. Of course there are also fun group activities on the program again.
The beautiful investments for this season are being completed. At the time you are reading this, the access road to Athena Le Perron has been paved. Within this and two weeks you can come sweat and relax in the brand new sauna at Athena Helios. On May 1, children will festively open the adventure playground at Athena Ossendrecht.
Our tinyhouse project is also really taking shape now. Do you dream of a handsome and comfortable mini house of your own at one of our parks? Soon it will be possible. You can read more about it in this magazine. And you are cordially invited to the viewing and demo days to see, feel and experience ... and to ask your questions.
But first we are going on a trip - already on paper - to the South of France. We take you to the top naturist village of Le Sérignan Plage Nature on the Mediterranean and to the family campsite La Clapère near Spain, at the foot of the Pyrenees. You'll learn about the last anchovy fishermen in Bergen op Zoom and about Filip Naudts, photographer with a mission. You will discover cheerful outdoor gadgets and help determine the winners of our photo contest.
Enjoy reading!

Tiny houses are compact and cozy and invite close contact with nature. They are gaining popularity, but you can't just put them anywhere. We researched which models are most suitable for Athena and how and where best to place them in our parks. Sustainability, experience and integration into the green environment are paramount.

Thank you to all our wonderful visitors and members for making 2023 a wonderful year!
At Athena, we say goodbye to 2023 and are busy preparing for a splashy season in 2024.
In the coming year, we are going all out to make every child and parent at ATHENA happy. Think of a brand new, adventurous playground at Athena Ossendrecht, cute goats and bees at Helios, and learning circus techniques at Le Perron. We are introducing additional children's and family activities, and children even stay for free during the May vacations, on Ascension and Pentecost.
On behalf of the entire ATHENA team, we wish you fantastic holidays and an extremely happy and healthy 2024! 🎉
