Our Summer Camps

Welcome to Summer Camp at Lycée Français de New York!

A leader in bilingual education for over 90 years, the Lycée inspires students from around the world through a creative approach to learning both inside and outside the classroom. Our summer camp maintains this high level of commitment, providing an imaginative program led by our own French-speaking teachers and educators.

Whether your child is a fluent speaker or a complete beginner, our camp is designed for a diverse, multilingual audience. Proficiency in French is not a prerequisite; our goal is simply to nurture curiosity and enhance language skills through an inclusive, joyful experience

French Immersion - Nursery to Grade 1 (rising)

Give your child a summer of global friendship and French discovery. From our youngest explorers to our budding artists, we provide a warm, nurturing environment where the French language comes to life through play, creativity, and movement.
 
  • Art & Storytelling
    Guided by French educators, children dive into artistic exploration—from sensory finger painting and watercolor for toddlers to 3D construction and theater for older campers. Every masterpiece and performance is a catalyst for building a rich French vocabulary.
 
  • Culinary Adventures
    Led by a French Chef, "tiny hands" and older bakers alike discover new flavors. Campers prepare delicious treats like fresh bread and fruit tarts, bringing home both their handmade creations and the recipes to share with family.
 
Active Play & Sports
Our facilities are designed for energy and growth:
  • The Roof: A rooftop playground for sun-soaked fun and cooling off in our outdoor sprinklers.
  • The Gym: A "motricity room" and full-sized gymnasium for obstacle courses, soccer, and scooter riding.
  • The Community: A safe, joyful space for children to build their first international friendships and for families to join our school community.

Why Choose Our Camp?

  • Language through Joy: We teach through songs, nursery rhymes, and immersive storytelling.
