2019 Summer Camps

La Belle et La Bête


La Belle et La Bête ~ a real French Fairytale!

Two week French Immersion Camp for 3-10 year olds

French Campers will promenade through a charming French Village with Belle, on their way to an enchanted château where they will meet the Beast and have a French tea party with Madame Pot and her son. Children will also experience shopping in pretend French boutiques and working at a pretend French restaurant as they sing "Bienvenue" to Belle & la Bête!


Chez Pierre – Un Restaurant Français

French Cooking Camp

Calling all les petits chefs that would like to experience a French Cooking Extravaganza. Spend a week of preparing French desserts while learning to speak and sing and play in French. Each day they will sample their treats and serve their parents in a pretend French restaurant. They will learn vocabulary and phrases around shopping and preparing French gourmet desserts. This is for children ages 5-10. Oh là là - Bon Appétit


Our Summer French Camps, which began in 1995, have drawn hundreds of children from all over Fairfield County to summer sessions of intensive French learning and fun. What better way for children to speak, sing and breathe French! This tour de force is a highlight of the Franc-O-Fun program sweeping children up into a world of fantasy, effectively and drastically improving fluency in French in just one-two weeks time! We choose themes that are creative and magical, steeped in stories and simple play, providing useful vocabulary for our campers.

Brand new beginners to intermediate are bienvenue (welcome) - all are immersed in French with the use of puppetry, fairytale musical theatre, original song sign language, games, finger-play, arts & crafts and French Cooking ~ children ages 6 and older work as well on reading and writing French. Target vocabulary is very carefully crafted so that children are exposed repeatedly throughout the day to build retention and comprehension.

Original songs are written specifically for our students and the last day of camp, the French campers perform in a large-scale (costumes, scenery, music) program for their families – tout en français!!
