All you need to know about joining a summer camp in France!
Why join a Summer camp in France?
When joining a summer camp you combine learning French with fun activities, excursions, and practicing your favorite sport. Moreover, you meet other teenagers from all over the world and experience an immersion in the French language and culture.
Learning French in France is more beneficial than studying French in your home country. The constant immersion and exposure to the language make the progression more significant as studying a few hours of French every week. Furthermore, by living the language for a few weeks during an immersion camp in France, you will gain confidence and feel more comfortable expressing yourself in class back home.
While becoming more fluent is one of the many benefits of studying French in France, there are also other advantages. Being away from home in a completely different environment helps you grow as a person and the cultural exchange gives you a broader perspective of the world. You will meet new people of different nationalities and experience new cultures all while studying French in France.

What is the best age to go to a junior overnight stay in France?
Before deciding to go overseas to a Summer camp in France you need to ask yourself the question: ‘Have you ever been away from home for a longer period of time?’ If this is your first time away from your parents, it's better to try to do a camp in your home country first. Some children are comfortable being away from home at the age of 12, others at the age of 16. In general, we recommend going on an overseas language immersion not before the age of 13, unless you travel with a friend or family member.
