Nominated for: BEST Kids Camp
Speak French while enjoying the fun of residential camp on your own private island in the San Juan Islands of Washington. Speaking French will come easily whatever your level. With a maximum of 45 campers, you can plan your day's activities: theatrical and artistic, athletic and adventuresome or a combination. Make a masque fantastique for a masquerade ball, rapelle down to the ocean's edge, bake a tarte aux pommes, or kayak to an island beach. Activities include fencing, archery, sailing, kayaking, swimming, photography, and marine biology, snorkeling, and every session has special activities related to its theme: La Révolution Française. Les Voyageurs, Les Chevaliers, or Le Monde Francophone. With only four campers per tipi you will enjoy close camaraderie with your tipi mates. Counselors, from France or other Francophone countries will share their culture, food, and history with you. The camp includes Le Ritz game room, tennis court, swimming pool, volleyball/sports field, darkroom, and over two miles of trails to explore around the island.
