Exciting Summer Programmes For Young People Today. Choose 1 of 2 camps in exquisite Southern France. Campers from around the world ensure an international atmosphere. Highlight of both camps is a two-day 30km descent on the Ardeche river in Canadian Canoes. English and French are spoken at both camps, which are located at the same site.

 

Camps available

 

French Language camp

In addition to comprehensive instruction in canoeing, campers receive twenty-four hours of practical instruction in French with qualified French teachers. Focus is on gaining confidence in the spoken language through class-based activities and visits to local places of interest. The emphasis is on conversation and practical application in everyday situations, with a minimum of grammar and writing.

 

Outdoor adventure Camp

In addition to comprehensive instruction in canoeing, campers follow an action-packed schedule that includes learning a range of outdoor activities such as rappelling, rock climbing, and caving. An emphasis is put on teaching the campers to support each other and work together while in a safe environment.  One full day is dedicated to a memorable mountain bike excursion into the local countryside. The thrilling ride takes the campers through a variety of terrain and paths with magnificent sights of the Ardèche region.
