Junior French Courses

Cactus offers Junior French courses for youngsters aged 11 to 18 years in both Europe and North America. These courses take the form of summer language camps, examination revision courses and special activities packages, such as skiing or surfing, that are specifically geared to younger learners. Courses are available as day camps or as fully-inclusive programmes with accommodation, meals, activities and supervision included. They offer a safe, fun and truly international environment in which to learn French and learn more about the local language and culture, whilst making friends with others of the same age.

Cactus fully appreciates the concerns parents may have about sending their children away, and for this reason we only work with schools that offer the best care, tuition and extra-curricular activities. We are also happy to talk through the options and answer any questions you may have prior to booking. It is safe to say that most children who go to a French language camp end up not wanting to leave - yet, when they do, they return home with a range of new skills, increased confidence in Spanish, and of course new friends from all corners of the globe.

Switzerland

There can be few better holidays to tell your friends about than a French language and ski camp in the Swiss Alps. This is one of the courses we offer in Switzerland, which provides a truly international environment in which to learn a language (French, German or English) receive expert ski tuition and participate in a fun-packed activities programme. During the summer, a junior language camp is held at the same language and activity centre in the picturesque village of Les Sciernes, providing small-group French classes alongside a host of summer mountain pursuits. With a high ratio of staff to students, you can rest assured that your child is in the best hands - but beware they may not want to come home!
