French Immersion Summer Camp

Every summer, children are invited to immerse themselves in the French language and culture through play, creativity, and discovery at the Lycée Français de New York.

In a joyful and welcoming French-speaking environment, campers explore culinary arts, theater, crafts, sports, and more — all guided by our experienced educators. Whether they are strengthening their language skills or discovering French for the first time, children learn naturally through meaningful, hands-on experiences.

Summer Camp at the Lycée is a lively, imaginative program created and taught by French-speaking teachers and educators. Every summer, we welcome a diverse, multilingual group. Our activities are thoughtfully curated to ensure that everyone can learn, have fun, and relish this inclusive and enriching experience.
