Course description

Through a combination of fun activities, testing challenges and a range of fascinating visits to places of interest, campers enjoy this unique learning experience, returning home improved French speakers. Campers will acquire new language skills and put them to use in the village and at camp all while enjoying an action-packed holiday.

With 30 hours of intense, but enjoyable instruction in each two-week session, campers concentrate on mastering two-way conversations, both speaking and listening. Highly trained and experienced teachers/counsellors oversee this successful and worthwhile all-round camp experience. This unique and highly acclaimed Village Camps' approach to language learning successfully achieves significantly greater progress and final results in language skills than in classic language schools.

As part of this highly rewarding experience, language campers are encouraged in fun and challenging ways to utilize their French, not only in classes, but throughout the entire day and evening. This ensures better progress and an almost certain guarantee that children returning home will understand the language better and will significantly improve their spoken French. Assessment is continuous. An appropriate certificate is awarded at the end of camp and a written report is sent to the parent.
