At Camp Tournesol, we work to nurture a lifelong love of French, no matter where your camper is in their French language journey! We are here to meet them with fun activities and experiences, with just the right amount of French (from a little, all the way to fully immersive) to build on their existing language ability. Whether they learn their first French words here, or are refining their already wonderful grasp on the language – Camp Tournesol is here for them!
For each week of summer camp, you have the option to register your camper in one of two streams, French Foundations or French Mastery, depending on their age and current French background.
(4-13 years)
Is your camper not in a French immersion program and/or you don’t speak French at home, but you still want them to build vocabulary and skills? Foundations is for them!
(4-13 years)
If your camper is in a French immersion program or you speak French at home, and you’d like them to build fluency and proficiency, our Mastery stream is the perfect choice.
French Foundations is designed for campers who do not attend or are just starting out in a French immersion school program and/or do not speak French at home – or are even just beginning in their French language journey! Foundations campers sometimes have some French experience or vocabulary (which they generally learned at their non-French immersion school in French class), but are also welcome if they have absolutely no French knowledge at all. In fact, starting your camper in their French journey at Camp Tournesol is a wonderful choice – it shows them from the start how much a new language can be!
French Mastery is for campers who either do go to a French immersion program and/or speak French at home. These campers are able to speak French very well, and are ready for the full French immersion environment our Mastery stream offers them to build on their current level of fluency and confidence in the language. French Mastery campers would be comfortable in an environment where French is primarily spoken.
