How will I study French?

This summer camp in France is a real immersion in French because coaches, teachers, and most campers (90%) are French. International students can join the French campers during the sports practices and the social activities planned inside the camp. International participants must have a minimum French level (2 years of French studies) to interact with the other campers and understand what the coach says.

This camp does not include French lessons.

Excursions and other activities are organized in the evening and at the weekend.

Our girls are very happy with the dance lessons! 

Karly P. (all)

It was their first experience in a “colo française” and they enjoyed it, appreciated the dance courses a lot and went back inspired by them. In addition, they made good progress in French.

Florence & Marie-Solène (all)

We're participating with my cousin in the summer of 2019. We slept in the same room and met a lot of friends. 

Emily A. (all)

The campus in Mâcon is huge. There are dormitories, classrooms, cafeteria, vending machines. Everyone speaks French. That encourage me to speak French too. When I sometimes felt shy to speak French, my friends encouraged me to speak and it was okay if I made a mistake. At least, dancing is a universal language.

Olivia M. (all)

Camp was very good! I can't wait to tell my friends in the US to participate next year all together. 

Paris S. (all)

My daughter is having a great time! She stopped attending French classes so she could spend more time with her friends in dance class. Congratulations to the dance teacher for her work.
