French culture and Language immersion

Coaches and assistants are all French, and international students make the most of these sports camps to improve their French skills because they are immersed in a French-speaking environment 24 hours a day. French is the language used during all activities - sports, leisure time, social activities, meals, etc.

I loved it! The facilities were clean and good! I felt very comfortable playing tennis with French girls and boys. I had never met many French before. So it was a nice experience. Everyone was very nice to me. I learned new phrases like: J'arrive, je mange là, je t'aime ma copine!

The kids loved camp! Next year they'll be back.
