SUMMER PROGRAM
2025 French Nature Summer Program
Our seventeenth year of our Art, Music and Science French Summer Program offers a creative, nurturing and relaxed experience for children ages three through seven years.
Children of all levels and French-speaking backgrounds are encouraged to speak French naturally while engaged in captivating workshops designed to both educate and entertain. Our integrated approach specifically engages the child in lively and creative activities to enhance developmentally appropriate skills in a foreign language. We believe in a supportive and encouraging learning environment where children feel a part of our learning community and are prepared to take risks in a safe space.
The daily schedule therefore includes a balance of stimulating and relaxing developmentally appropriate activities. Outdoor activities will take place in the neighborhood parks and playgrounds. Our full-day program is from 9:30AM – 2:30PM and includes time for children to eat a home brought lunch.
Whether your child is in a Dual-Language French Program, a native French speaker, or curious about the French language and would like to start learning – our teachers will find a place of fun and joy to hear and speak French. Learn through play-based engagement and projects that are fueled by the children’s individual interests and preferences.

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting new and returning camper registrations for our 2025 French immersion summer camp.
Our camp takes place outdoors in Fort Greene Park and in our beautiful school at 462 Vanderbilt Avenue, where our caring, experienced teachers create a joyful, immersive French environment.
Our lively weekly sessions engage children in French through play, art, music, storytelling, and hands-on science. Whether your child is new to the language or already speaks fluently, we tailor activities for every skill level.
Our camp themes are designed to help children develop a love and respect for nature. They will learn to see the beauty in themselves, in tall trees, and in tiny creatures. By connecting deeply with the world around them, we hope to inspire them to grow up as caring stewards of the environment.
Our main goal is to spark joy, creativity, and language development through fresh experiences and exploration. Each session is guided by our bilingual teaching team, who bring years of experience working with students at all levels of French comprehension.
Join us for as many weeks as you like! We’ll meet in Fort Greene Park (or at our school in case of inclement weather).

Our French Summer Mini-Camp for children up to 3 years old will delight young French learners. They are child and caregiver participation and attendance. No French knowledge is expected of caregivers, but we hope you come in with an open mind and heart to be part of the experience and fun!
Mini-Camp will take place in our school, in Boerum Hill. Children will be immersed in music, instruments, singing, rhythm, poetry, and art, and they will connect with natural elements through their five senses – all in French. This camp for young children, filled with songs and movement games, also incorporates visual arts and begins to gently explore preschool themes, such as colors, shapes, sizes, and animals.
Please note that this class requires a minimum for 8 children enrolled per week.
