Le Camp d'Été
Le Camp d'Été is an extension program of Ecole Bilingue de Berkeley, offering a dynamic and engaging summer camp experience. For students entering Grade 1 to Grade 6. No prior French experience is required; children of all language levels are supported through gestures, visuals, routines, and peer interaction.
Le Camp d'Été 2026
Le Camp d'Été invites children to discover French through play, culture, and community. In a lively, joyful environment, campers explore French-speaking cultures around the world through music, food, games, movement, and creative projects. All French levels are supported as children naturally build confidence and communication skills through real-life experiences. We emphasize emotional well-being, belonging, and cooperation so every camper feels safe, valued, and included. As an EcoSchool and EFE3D-labeled institution, we weave sustainability and global citizenship into daily camp life, nurturing caring, curious, and responsible global citizens.
