Do you want to provide your child with the gift of language? Do you want your child to spend some of their summer vacation learning French?
Education Française Bay Area (EFBA) is sponsoring a summer camp for children in grades K – 5 to experience a French immersion camp.
All activities will be conducted in French, which means a full day of immersion of at least 6 hours (up to 10 hours with the extended childcare options).
Your French counselors will take your children on an amazing journey through the ages and culture of France. Kids will spend their "French vacation" just as if they were actually there, with an hour a day of formal French class and participate in sports, art activities, cooking, collective games, etc. The program will engage their imagination, spark their creativity and leave them laughing and wanting more.
Camp Hours
Camp will run daily Monday through Friday, 9-3pm, with optional extended care from 8 to 9am and from 3 to 6pm.
Class Levels
During the daily 1 hour class, francophones and anglophones children will be grouped depending on their level: 3 levels of French for native-speakers (cycle 1, cycle 2, cycle 3) and 2 levels for anglophones(beginners and advanced). Classes will be taught by an EFBA teacher, with EFBA's fun yet academic philosophy.
Management & Staff
Camp counselors will be mature, happy, nurturing native French speakers. They will act as role models and engage your children at all time in French. They will be trained by the EFBA and be CPR & First Aid certified. All personnel and volunteers will be fingerprinted.
