Unforgettable Summer Memories for Kids

From 29 June to 24 July 2026, our campus came alive with curiosity, creativity, and laughter as young students embarked on an extraordinary journey around the world. As an international school with many represented nationalities, we enjoyed the perfect opportunity to design engaging bilingual activities in French and English.

A World of Discovery and Hands-on Learning

Throughout the three-week camp, children engaged in a rich variety of thematic activities engineered to spark imagination and team spirit:
Time Travellers & Inventors: Campers stepped back in time and explored historic discoveries while creating their own imaginative inventions.

Elemental Explorers & Animals of the World: Young nature lovers connected with the natural environment, observing local flora, planting flowers, and learning about wildlife from around the globe.

Science & Experiments: Hands-on, interactive scientific challenges sparked natural curiosity.

Creative Arts & Outdoor Challenges: Expressing creativity through dynamic painting projects, colorful tie-dye designs, energetic balloon races, and thrilling treasure hunts that brought team spirit to life.

Fostering Connections and Personal Growth

We intentionally design these shared experiences to encourage campers to explore crafts, connect with nature, build lasting friendships, and grow into their best selves. Through bilingual collaborative challenges and guided exploration, students developed confidence and open-mindedness.

We extend our warmest thanks to all the campers, boarding students, and staff who made this summer so special. We look forward to seeing you next summer for even more exciting adventures!

Summer camp becomes a second home when every moment is filled with joy!

Unforgettable Summer Memories for Teens

From 13 July to 25 July 2026, our green campus in Maisons-Laffitte welcomed active young minds aged 10 to 16 for a dynamic two-week summer experience. Set within 50 hectares of parkland, this unique programme combined dedicated language learning with hands-on equestrian training, sports, and creative projects. Day students and Boarding students alike immersed themselves in a truly international atmosphere, living and learning together while building confidence in both English and French.

Mastering Languages Through Practical Experience

Our academic programme goes beyond traditional classroom exercises. Designed as a structured two-week immersion, the curriculum ensures that students strengthen their core language competencies while applying their skills to real-world contexts.

Small Class Sizes: Students are grouped by language level in small cohorts of 12 to 15, ensuring personalised attention from expert educators.

Listening and Reading Comprehension: Interactive lessons focus on authentic media, discussions, and task-based problem-solving.

Speaking and Writing Skills: Daily modules encourage students to present projects, write original pieces, and collaborate in pair activities.

Cultural Preparation: Language lessons double as preparation for local excursions, allowing students to explore iconic French cultural sites with context, historical background, and active vocabulary.

 

 

Equestrian Heritage and Dynamic Outdoor Activities

Situated in the heart of France's renowned horse town, our summer camp provides an exceptional equestrian experience. Riders of all levels work with skilled instructors to develop their technique, balance, and stable management skills. Beyond the stables, the 50-hectare estate serves as a playground for movement, team spirit, and well-being.

Equestrian Focus: Daily riding sessions, horse care, and equestrian skill-building.

Sports and Recreation: Full access to on-site swimming facilities, plus kayaking, cycling, and team sports.

Adventure Sports: Off-site and outdoor challenges including climbing, tree-climbing courses, laser tag, golf, basketball, and bowling.

 

Visual Arts and Creative Expression

A balanced lifestyle pairs physical action with creative inquiry. Our creative arts modules invite students to explore modern media and visual storytelling:

Visual Arts: Hands-on painting, drawing, and multi-media projects.

Digital Photography: Learning framing, composition, and digital editing techniques across campus.

Collaborative Projects: Group artwork and media presentations shared with peers at the end of the camp session.

Our recent session from 13 July to 25 July was a resounding success. Through shared meals, outdoor games, riding lessons, and collaborative projects, our students built lasting friendships while naturally developing their bilingual communication skills.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning participants to our upcoming summer sessions in Maisons-Laffitte.
