How will I study French?

This summer camp in France is a real French immersion because coaches, teachers, and most campers are French (90%). International students are able to join the French campers during the sports practices and the social activities planned inside the camp. International participants are required to have a minimum French level (2 years of French studies) so that they can 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.

Once the sports session is over, it is time for rest and recreation.

Each afternoon, the children will have the opportunity to participate in recreational activities. These activities usually take place in larger groups and the goal is to create a community spirit within the center. They are designed, implemented and supervised by our certified counselors. Sports coaches also participate to share great moments with the children.

The teams organize evening activities adapted to the age and tastes of the children, the weather and the level of tiredness of the group.

Campers are hosted on different campuses depending on the chosen sports camp. Students live in student residences (from 2 to 4 beds per room) with shared facilities.
