Camps

Our summer camp is a French introduction and immersion program. We use French as much as possible to encourage kids to practice and play in French. We accommodate both new learners and fluent French speakers, from 4 years 9 months to 12 years old.

Our teachers welcome all children in a happy, caring, and relaxed atmosphere.

Mornings are our academic time, both individually with tutoring and in a group setting with a review of math and English material from the previous school year to combat summer learning loss and strengthen skills for the next school year. Each child is provided with a booklet with the material from the prior grade to review. Children are organized into mini groups by grade level. 

During French class, our campers will learn French through writing, speaking, listening, and educational games. For the first part of the class (reading/ writing), we provide customized material depending on the French level of the camper to offer every child an opportunity to learn and progress. The second part of the class (Speaking, communication, listening) is with the group. Activities for this part include learning songs, role-playing, educational games, etc.

Our afternoons are a time for more fun yet enriching activities - to relax and have fun with new friends! We apply every summer to rent an outdoor yard just across the street. If it's granted (which is usually the case), we start the afternoon with 1h hour of outdoor sports and games to take in some fresh air and burn off some energy. Lastly, we end the day with science experiments, arts and crafts, games, treasure hunts, or theater play.
