Camp des Lucioles (Preschool & Kindergarten)

Welcoming our youngest campers, Camp des Lucioles (“Fireflies Camp”) is a gentle introduction to the French language with a focus on fun, social and emotional learning, and school readiness. Activities are led in both English and French to build language skills in both languages through play and exciting weekly themes. Campers will enjoy dance parties, cooking projects, art projects, obstacle courses, and so much more!

Note: Registration for Camp des Lucioles is by 2-week session only.

Camp d’été (Rising Grades 1–5)

Camp d’été is better than ever this summer with an extra week! From absolute beginners to native speakers, campers in this 4-week French immersion program will focus on fun hands-on experiences that facilitate language skills at each camper’s pace — plus plenty of outdoor time!

Note: Register by 2-week session for Camp d’été to get the full experience!

Classe Aventure (Rising Grades 6–9)

Leave campus behind with Classe Aventure! No matter your French level, develop your French skills and your curiosity as you explore the beautiful Puget Sound area on daily field trips, persevere through group challenges, and flex your creativity with cool projects.

Note: Registration by 2-week session is encouraged, but weekly registration is available for Classe Aventure.

Specialty Camps With Studio2You (Rising Grades 1–5)

Keep summer camp going with two more weeks of fun with Studio2You! Join Ms. D for one week of Little Chefs followed by one week of Fired Arts.
