Language Lessons
in Summer Camp
Lessons are taught by native-speaking and highly qualified teachers with extensive experience working with children.
Teachers design yearly updated programs to keep learning dynamic and engaging.
Classes focus on developing vocabulary and fluency while ensuring that the process is enjoyable and interactive.. Small class sizes (a maximum of 8 students per group) ensure every child gets individual attention and ample opportunity to participate.
Students are assessed at the start of the camp to place them in the most suitable class based on their proficiency level.
Emphasis is placed on conversation and building confidence through practice.
The lessons are delivered using the direct method, which relies on the active participation of the student, taught by teachers who exclusively teach in their native language.
To apply their language skills, children perform in a group drama production at the end of camp, guided by their teachers and camp leaders. Weekly lessons include 15 hours of interactive language learning, ensuring campers make progress while enjoying the process.
Sports Activities
in Summer Camp
At summer camp, afternoons are dedicated to a variety of captivating sports activities designed not only to entertain but also to encourage language learning in a dynamic and immersive environment. Our bilingual counselors lead groups of children where English and French blend seamlessly, fostering natural exchanges in both languages throughout the activities.
Children participate in a variety of activities such as:
swimming, ice skating, mini-golf, dog hiking, fishing, rock climbing, tree climbing and zip line, “All together” games, cable car hiking, trampoline, golf, biathlon, slacklining, laser tag, leisure park activities, water games, and pony riding.
Each of these activities is an opportunity to learn through practice: the counselors encourage children to give instructions, ask questions, or share their experiences in a language different from their native language.
This immersive program offers participants the chance to improve their language skills effortlessly in a warm and friendly environment. Through games and collaboration, children experience the joy of learning a new language while having fun. It’s an enriching and unforgettable experience that blends sports, culture, and language learning seamlessly—a perfect summer camp adventure in France for young learners!

Participants with different native languages in cozy Alpine-style rooms, shared between 2 to 3 participants. Each room features light wood decor, creating a warm, comfortable, and relaxing atmosphere that ensures an unforgettable experience.
Supervision & Safety
We understand that your child’s safety and well-being are the top priorities when they are away from home. At International Language Camps, many members of our team have been with us for years, bringing extensive experience in working with children. From the director to teachers and activity leaders, every team member is qualified, bilingual, and committed to providing the best care.
Our supervision ratio of one adult for per five campers is double the legal requirement set by the French government. This allows us to give personalized attention to each child, addressing their individual needs.
The camp director personally knows every camper and is available 24/7 to address any concerns you may have. For activities requiring specialized supervision (such as mountaineering or climbing), our trained leaders accompany children alongside certified professionals to ensure safety at all times.
Our motivated and experienced team not only ensures the well-being of the participants but also serves as role models, fostering a supportive and inspiring environment for the children.
