RegistrationSummer Camp - San Diego French American School
San Diego French-American School (SDFAS) offers a summer camp program that promotes and maintains language skills during the summer to children from 3 years old and up (Three main groups: 3-5, 6-9, and 10 and up). Children are involved in a wide variety of fun-filled activities that are also educational. "Le Tour du Monde - Around the World" Summer Camp provides a head start in the immersion experience by allowing children to acclimate to a new language environment or to maintain or improve the language. The camp is open to SDFAS and non-SDFAS students.
All of our instructors have strong backgrounds in language immersion programs. We are also pleased to work with many partners whose competencies will fulfill our campers' demands such as Surf, cooking, eLAB lego, dance, sports, arts, theater and much more.
"Le Tour du Monde - Around the World" Summer Camp is a good introduction to the French language as well as another language such as English, Spanish, Italian and Chinese (Mandarin). The classes are conducted in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
We look forward to working with your children this summer in a fun, exciting and educational atmosphere.
