So at Alpine French School’s Summer Camp, we have a popular alternative activity programme which includes a wide variety of activities.

This activity programme on our French Summer Camp is called Discovery and Creativity as it allows students to taste a wide range of activities. Read on to find out more….

A fun way to enjoy movement, explore emotions, build concentration, manage stress and increase their self-confidence and build a positive self image. Students also learn to feel part of a healthy, non-competitive group and help team dynamics. Important skills to develop in today’s world.

Arc’Tag

Arc Tag is a strategic game where 2 games take each other on equipped with foam bows and arrows. They can take temporary shelter behind inflatable objects to avoid being ‘hit’ by the other team.

Laser Game

Students form 2 teams with infrared ‘guns’ and play according to a scenario that is predetermined and explained to the students. This makes for a thrilling activity where students have to use their brains, concentration, tactical skills, strategy and team work to beat the ‘enemy’.

This great range of activities provide a popular part of our French Summer Camp in France!
