“Thank you so much Martine. I love the work you do and so appreciate how it benefits our kids.”

“It’s French and Fun all in one!”

“Enthusiastic staff and great programming in French.”

Comments regarding the Intro to French program
“My child had a great time at Camp Tournesol this year. She discovered that she really liked learning French and so we will be putting her into French immersion come fall. It was a great litmus test and kept her very active and entertained the whole time. We would highly recommend it to anyone with kids who wanted to try out French.”

“As an English speaking parent, I think that this was a great way to introduce the French language and help to provide a bit of background to my daughter before she begins grade 1 in a French immersion program.”

“Camp Tournesol was fun and at the same time a good introduction to the French language.”

“My son J,J, had a wonderful time at camp. I never heard a word of complaint for the whole two weeks and that’s really saying something. He was enthusiastic to be there. Thanks so much for everything. We would highly recommend it to our friends.”

“We enjoyed the program! Great intro to basic concepts and expressions in French.”

“This was my son’s first camp experience – he thoroughly enjoyed it! Wants to go back next summer!”

“Thank you for giving my daughter a great start to French immersion!”

“Our son thoroughly enjoyed your camp this year and was actually very sad when it was finished. It is great that you offer this program to assist children with the transition to French immersion education.”

“I just wanted to thank you and your staff for a great camp experience for my daughter. She really enjoyed the intro to French at Mineola PS and I was surprised how much French she was able to retain. The workbook you provided with her work is also very useful in reviewing what she learnt. It was a wonderful experience for her to meet so many kids she will have in her grade 1 year and introduce her to French in a fun non-stressful was. Thank you as well for a very thorough allergy information form. I would recommend your camp to anyone and will definitely have my other 2 daughters participate in it when the time comes.”

“I liked seeing my son’s smiling face when he got off the bus and his anticipation to return the next day. This was an indication that my 5 years old was well taken care of while he was in the care of the staff at Camp Tournesol. Communication with all the staff was excellent. The camp seemed well organized including the bus ID card attached to the children’s backpacks. The activities seemed endless in the eyes of our 5 years old.”

Lauren thoroughly enjoyed your camp and I think it’s a wonderful way to begin French immersion studies.
