Camps

Queen’s University offers a French Summer Camp in Kingston and is an initiative of the Department of French Studies at Queen’s University since the summer of 2014.  The camp program provides an opportunity for children ages 4 to 10 to learn and experience the French language and culture in a fun, interactive, recreational setting.

Queen’s French Camp is a student run program that aims to teach French in an engaging camp style, outside the bounds of the classroom, by incorporating creative programming for campers of all abilities in French. The weekly sessions in July and August seek to inspire interest in the French Canadian identity while incorporating the Ontario curriculum standards.  Campers are encouraged, but never required to, communicate in the French language, ultimately ensuring an inclusive and comfortable environment.
