The Camp d’été (or “Summer Camp”) is our French immersion day camp for students entering grades 1-5 in the fall. No French? No problem! Whether your child is an absolute beginner or a native speaker, our four-week immersion program allows campers to develop language skills at their own pace in a fun and inclusive setting.
