We offer more than just a week of activities; we provide a vibrant, immersive French Day Camp experience that combines the thrill of summer fun with the enrichment of French language learning.

Enhanced Learning & Festival Fridays

Boost Your French Skills This Summer!

Exciting Educational Adventure!
This summer at Camp Tournesol, we’re elevating our Full French Camp experience! We’re introducing immersive one-hour French lessons, three times a week. These sessions will encompass everything from grammar and vocabulary to comprehensive reading and writing skills.

Tailored Learning Experience
Your child will be grouped with peers of the same age, ensuring that the lessons are perfectly in sync with their grade level. It’s not just learning; it’s a fun-filled revision journey tailored for a head start in the upcoming school year.

Interactive and Engaging
True to our camp’s ethos, these sessions are designed to be as interactive and enjoyable as they are educational. Expect a blend of fun activities and structured learning, keeping the spirit of summer camp alive!

Festival Fridays: End Your Week on a High Note!

Serious Fun Ahead!
Festival Fridays at Camp Tournesol are an institution! As we wrap up a week filled with fun and learning, we’re excited to introduce brand-new themes and games to our Festival Fridays. Perfect for both first-time campers and those returning for more fun and French immersion!

Themes for Everyone
Our 2024 Festival schedule is packed with activities designed to engage campers of all ages.

Classic Camp Fun with a Twist
In addition to our new themes, expect to see our Camp Tournesol classics – from vibrant face painting and captivating skit presentations to our much-loved Pizza lunch. Festival Fridays are the perfect culmination of a week full of French, fun, and friendship!

Make a Splash on Water Days:

At Camp Tournesol, we make a splash with Water Days every week. Your child’s campus will either embark on an exciting field trip to the Splash Pad or enjoy a thrilling on-site Water Day experience!

Why Our Exceptional
Camp Staff Stands Out

  1. Bilingual and Francophone: Our team is fully bilingual and/or Francophone, ensuring that your child will have a fantastic time with our enthusiastic French-speaking staff.
  2. Rigorous Training: Before joining our day camps, our staff undergoes thorough training. This includes comprehensive safety modules, full-day in-person training sessions, multiple virtual training sessions, and on-site training before the campus opens. We prioritize the safety of your child, and our staff is CPR certified.
  3. Campus Leadership: Each campus is led by a Site Supervisor who is 21 years or older. Additionally, we have a Senior Instructor specially trained to lead our kinder program. Many of our staff members are aspiring education professionals, bringing valuable knowledge and expertise to our camps.
  4. Ongoing Support: Our Senior Head Office Team, led by our Camp Director with over 10 years of experience, provides unwavering support to our staff. They regularly visit each campus, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for all.
