Summer Camp Recap: June Memories & July Spots Still Available
We were delighted to welcome our young campers in June for the first two sessions of our French Fun & Learning Summer Camp: Les P’tits Francophones (June 1–5) and Les P’tits Génies (June 22–26). Through games, arts and crafts, hands-on activities, language immersion, and cultural discoveries, our campers enjoyed a fun-filled introduction to the French language while making new friends and unforgettable summer memories.
The adventure continues in July! Les P’tits Artistes (July 27–31) is now fully booked, but we still have a few spots available for Les P’tits Aventuriers (July 20–24).
Open to children of all French levels, from complete beginners to native speakers, our camp is the perfect place to learn, explore, and have fun in French. Don’t wait—remaining spots are limited!
