French culture and Language immersion

The majority of participants (90%) are French. Coaches and assistants are all French, and foreign 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.

Campers are led by qualified camp leaders and will attend daily training including:

• How to improve the different strokes: backhand, return, service
• Daily matches
• Observation and analysis of the movements, demonstrations, and discussions on the techniques

We have tennis equipment available for those campers who do not possess their own set.
