FRENCH SUMMER CAMP

코스 개요

international Camp for teenagers aged 11-17 years, interested in improving their level of French language in an ideal holiday destination like Alicante and having fun doing sports or artistic/cultural activities together with boys and girls of the same age from different countries.

The main objective of this camp is that our participants have a great time, while they learn French and enrich themselves by socialising with young people from other countries.

The participants have 4 hours of French lessons every morning, from Monday to Friday. Afterwards they join with the teens from our Spanish camp and our English Camp to have lunch and spend the rest of day together. In the afternoon, they’ll enjoy doing sports, theatre workshops, choreographic dance or plastic arts, among other activities.

Alicante has a fantastic Mediterranean climate and the Summer average temperature is 30ºC. For this reason, our campers will enjoy the beach and the swimming pool very much. Furthermore, at the weekends, they will do funny and interesting excursions to the best places in the province.

They are permanently accompanied by 24 hours-counsellors, who are taking good care of them and safeguarding their safety. The ratio is 1 counsellor for 10 participants.

Every activity aims at promoting the interrelation between all campers, guaranteeing the cross-cultural communication and avoiding the separate groups per nationality.
