Our kids Summer camps  in French Immersion will give to your children the opportunity to practice French at all levels, it is also an easy and fun way to get back into before going back to school.
We offer various activities

Hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, canoeing or paddle boarding, orienteering and treasure hunts, art/craft/DIY activities etc…, all, on the trails, rivers and lakes surrounding our log cabin at Fish Lake. The children will also spend a lot of time with our sled dogs which are an integral part of camp life, including during activities.

Activities can include some writing and reading work to learn more vocabulary through games.
