Your French lessons on our Alpine French Summer Camp will be fun yet educational, including games, songs and plenty of interactive group exercises. Classes are taught by young, dynamic teachers who know how to keep summer camp learning entertaining and lively!
Lessons take place 9h-12h30 Monday to Friday with a 30-minute break. Students will be fully involved in the lessons, playing games, creating projects, learning vocab and phrases that they can later use in real-life situations. Groups are often taken out into Morzine to put what they have learnt into practice, for example, they might learn some vocab and questions and then go to the market to buy a few items and test their French on the stall-holders.
We cater for all ages from 5-17 years old during the summer camp and students are split into groups with others of a similar age. We can take (if told in advance) all levels from complete beginner to advanced or almost bilingual. Students are also divided into groups according to their language level.
As part of our summer camp, we also offer the option of GCSE/AS-level/A-level preparation courses. These are a very popular option and run at the same time as the other courses for 15 hours per week. Classes are taught by a teacher experienced in the exam requirements so students can improve their general level, learn exam tips and techniques to help them in the exam situations. We also offer additional private tuition if required to work on specific weakness or skills.
The aim of all of our Summer Camp lessons is to complement and improve on what children learn at school. The main focus is on getting junior students communicating in French, having a go, gaining confidence in speaking and understanding why it is important to learn a language. We also try and motivate students and make them see that learning a language is not only useful but fun too, which sometimes they don’t realise when learning in a classroom back home!
We encourage parents to enrol their children for 2 or more weeks to ensure good progress.
Afternoon activities
In the afternoon, students get to take part in a range of activities according to their age. Children of 11 years or older can take part in our Adventure Plus Programmes. Younger students have their own tailormade activity programmes:
6-7 year olds
8-10 year olds
This is an essential part of language study which rarely gets taught in schools and awakens an interest in languages and other cultures!
In 2024, our groups will be split into 6-7 year olds, 8-10 year olds and 11+ year olds.
Club Montagne, Adventure or Adventure Plus Activities are included in the price of our Summer Day Camp. There is the option to add private tuition if required:
Add Private French Classes (3 lessons per week) for personalised tuition, great for targeted exam preparation.
“My son spent three weeks at the camp. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is very welcoming. In the Discovery Program, he spent the mornings immersing in French and engaging in learning activities, and then the afternoons, going on excursions in the beautiful Alps. He has met many new friends through the camp, and I am happy that he is now conversing confidently in French.” Hiba Majzoub, Dubai
“My kids spent a week at Alpine French School this summer and absolutely loved it. Not only did they learn a lot and enjoy the French lessons in the morning, but they loved all the new friends they met and the afternoon activities the school organised. The staff and teachers for the kids were wonderful and really made the experience memorable for the kids. The location of the school is also perfect with Morzine being an ideal place for lots of activities to keep the kids busy and happy. Highly recommend!!” Emily Tseng, London
