CAMP VIRGULE
SUMMER CAMP IN FRENCH!
Camp Virgule is a fantastic opportunity for children from 6 to 12 years of age to learn and practice their French while having fun. The child should be francophone or have at least one year of French immersion to participate in the Camp Virgule.
A special program is created each year around entertaining activities, including games, sports, outdoor excursions, visits to the beach and museums, for a summer that is full of francophone adventures!
This year the camp will start on June 29th and will end on August 14th.
