French Immersion Summer Camps & Courses

The Camp T Difference

At Camp Tournesol, interest in developing the whole child drives all aspects of our programming. We aim to provide an environment that supports not only language acquisition and maintenance, but also our campers’ ability to thrive. That is, we aim to complement the fabulous work of our parents! We have invested and focused on child development over the years, inviting experienced educators to advance our curriculum to ensure that your child will be learning and growing with us while having fun.

• Our multiple campuses across the GTA provide French summer day camps to children age 4 to 14 of a variety of French backgrounds.
• Our French overnight camps in Muskoka immerse French immersion students in a unique environment to enrich their French.
• Our year-round French Academy with LIVE virtual classrooms and curriculum aligned to the DELF certification – as well as our one-on-one tutoring – provides the academic support parents are looking for.
• Our French school trips in Ontario provide schools with an opportunity to expose their students to an fantastic outdoor experience in French without the long drive.

Although language acquisition is our mission and priority, we go even further, ensuring that our programs address these 4 pillars:

• Language skills,
• Cognitive skills,
• Affective skills and
• Motor skills.
