Family French Courses: French Summer Camp

Maybe you are thinking about sending your children on a French Summer Camp, but they are too young to travel alone. Or perhaps you want to holiday as a family, but you would like them to join a day camp to learn some French and take part in activities but also spend some time together as family? Then our Family French Courses are the answer…

Your children can attend our French Summer Camp from 9h-17h30 Monday to Friday and you can spend evenings and weekends together as a family.

Our Junior French Summer Camp is a great way for children and teenagers to do something educational and great fun during their summer break!  Morzine is a safe mountain town in a great setting with amazing activities on offer.  It is easily accessible from Geneva airport and the European rail network.

In the morning, children follow lessons, for 3 hours with a 30-minute break for them to have a run around!  Lessons are designed  to be fun yet educational, are taught in French by dynamic French native-speaker teachers.  There are plenty of games, quizzes, songs and interactive activities to initiate them to fun language learning!

Lunch is served at the French Summer Camp centre or as a picnic lunch or barbecue depending on what the afternoon activity is.  Serge, the chef, cooks some local specialities too to introduce French and local specialities but he knows which ones are popular with juniors and which are too unusual for their tastes!  Plus he makes great desserts :)

In the afternoon, our activity leaders organise activities such as sports tournaments, football matches and pétanque competitions (French bowls) in the lush gardens and sports pitches of the holiday centre.  Some afternoons will involve beach volleyball and swimming at Morzine’s great aquatic centre, or games and swimming at a local mountain lake.  The mountain summers are surprisingly warm!  During such activities, juniors get the opportunity to practise their language skills outside of the classroom and really bring the language to life.  This is an essential part of language study which rarely gets taught in schools and awakens an interest in languages and other cultures!

Our Option + scheme enables students to choose additional activities that interest them such as mountain biking (Morzine is a mecca for mountain biking!), adventure activities (white-water rafting, adventure park, climbing, mountain biking, summer sledging) or private tuition (perhaps in preparation for an exam).

Accommodation: We have a selection of accommodation options for families. Choose from a family room (with own bathroom) in our lovely modern centrally located self-catered chalet, perfect if you want to meet other students. Alternatively we can offer a family room in our junior study centre on a full-board or half-board basis. We also have partner hotels and can arrange private apartments.

Student welfare is of utmost importance to us at our French Summer Camp.  All of our staff are qualified to work with junior groups as activity leaders or language teachers. Our junior centre and activities included in this programme are all accredited by the French government (Ministère de Jeunesse et Sports) to welcome junior groups.  Students will be supervised during all tuition, breaks and activities and our activity coordinators stay on-site with the juniors.

And a couple of testimonials….

“Our children have had many lessons from the Alpine French School team who are all fabulous teachers, very experienced with children and they make the lessons great fun!  Our children have really enjoyed their lessons and have progressed a lot.  Morzine is a great place for young teenagers to be as there is so much to do in summer and it always feels safe.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and her team”.  Imogen Makower, London

“C’était un super bon expérience, c’était très cool!  Je voudrais bien rentrer ici, je suis un peu triste de partir.” Hanna Frankenberger, Germany
