Basketball and French summer camp in France: French courses for international campers

Every year we welcome international students looking forward to improve their language level while perfecting their basketball techniques during the summer. We offer a full linguistic and sports experience in Vichy, France, where lessons are given by professional teachers and professional certified coaches in a vast range of sports. The camp facilities offers all you need to have a great Basketball experience but you can also enjoy a sports hall, TV room, cafeteria, swimming pool, climbing wall etc.

Our sister company organizing the camp is SPORTS ELITE JEUNES. They have great experience in creating cultural, academic and sportive experiences for students around the globe! 

A French immersion program with activities during summer

Your full immersion experience starts as soon as you arrive in the camp as most of the camp participants are French! Additionally all of our staff is French ensuring a dynamic learning process. 

International students attend 3 hours of French from Monday to Friday on afternoons. Sports trainings take place on mornings. 

If you would like to participate in the full Basketball program, we have Basketball summer camp in France without French courses in June, July and August. 

Join our Basketball trainings!

Students can make the most of their stay in France to improve their French knowledge by taking French lessons on afternoons, and practicing basketball on mornings. The students join the participants on the intensive sports camp led by qualified camp leaders for:

• Daily work in groups of levels and ages to improve passes, shootings, bounces, breaking free from one’s opponent, defense…
• Discussions on the technique, free games;
• Daily matches, tournaments;
