SUMMER CAMP 2026

Join us for Les Lilas’s fun and unique Summer Camp! We’re offering 8 weekly sessions starting June 22 through August 14 for Les Lilas and non-Les Lilas students alike of all French-speaking levels. Summer Camp is split into two programs, similar to our school-year, multi-age classes: La Maternelle for kids ages 4 to 6, and L’Élémentaire for rising 1st to 5th graders.

Our French immersion camps are built around weekly themes to keep kids engaged, active, and enthusiastic. We also have rotating activity stations that we keep from year to year, providing a familiar environment to returning campers. These include:

• Studio Mode – Dress up • Blocks & Legos – Towers, marble runs...
• Les Médias – Music, coding, DJ-ing... • La Salle de Jeux – Pinball, foosball...
• La Boulangerie – Bake bread • La Grotte des Cartes – Card games
• Club de Karaoké & Danse – Sing and dance • La Salle de Dessin – Drawing, painting...
• La Bibliothèque – Reading • Le Mystère de la Mascotte – Hidden mascot

Fit our camp around your summer plans and sign up for one week, multiple consecutive or non-consecutive weeks, or all eight weeks!

WEEK 1 (JUNE 22 - JUNE 26)
REIMAGINE OUR FOREST 🌲

Parents walk through the forest with their child as the guide, stopping at each corner to see what the kids built, discovered, or created. This is hands on, outdoors, and incredibly memorable.

✨ On Friday, parents are invited to follow a child-created map and walk the trail with their child as a guide, discovering the stations they designed, built, and curated themselves. It is a joyful, outdoor celebration of learning — where curiosity leads the way, and children proudly become the teachers.

WEEK 2 (JUNE 29 - JULY 3)
SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE 🌌

In “Create the Universe”, children explored space through hands-on projects, imagination, and scientific discovery. Our youngest campers explored space with sensory play, while older students became engineers, storytellers, and astronomers.
✨ On Friday, parents were invited to step into their children’s universe. They walked the orbit trail, tested rockets, explored moon craters, and listened to their young astronauts explain planets, stars, and space myths in their own words. It was a joyful, moving moment — where learning became visible, and children truly became the teachers.

WEEK 3 (JULY 6 - JULY 10)
JOURNEY TO THE HIDDEN CORNERS OF THE EARTH -- AROUND THE WORLD 🌎

Through hands-on projects, cultural discoveries, and imaginative play, children explored the richness and diversity of our planet. Children crafted their own passports and proudly guided their families through continent stations, explaining what they created and what they learned.
✨ On Friday, parents were invited to join the journey. They traveled from continent to continent, discovering the world through their child’s eyes. It was a joyful celebration of curiosity, culture, and confidence — where children became true global guides.

WEEK 4 (JULY 13 - JULY 17)
 LEGENDS OF THE SEA 🌊

From building vibrant coral reefs to exploring magical tide pools, children discovered how life changes beneath the waves, learning about real environmental challenges through hands-on conservation activities.
✨ On Friday, parents were invited to dive in. They traveled from reef to tide pool, tested experiments, sorted “trash vs. treasure,” and walked through glowing deep-sea tunnels — all led by their own young ocean guides. It was an unforgettable underwater adventure, where science, imagination, and environmental awareness came together beautifully.

WEEK 5 (JULY 20 - JULY 24)
 THE CURIOUS MINDS LABORATORY 🧪

curiousminds imageThis week, our campers stepped into the world of science as real researchers in “The Curious Minds Laboratory.” With lab coats, goggles, and big curiosity, children explored chemistry, physics, and life science through hands-on experiments and discovery. Each child proudly became a junior scientist, ready to explain what they tested, what they observed, and what surprised them most.
✨ On Friday, parents were invited into the lab. They predicted reactions, raced rockets, explored plant roots, and watched their children confidently explain scientific concepts in their own words. It was a joyful celebration of curiosity, experimentation, and critical thinking — where children didn’t just learn science… they lived it.

WEEK 6 (JULY 27 - JULY 31)
 LIGHTS, MAGIC, ACTION! (LES LILAS SHOW) 🎭

lma imageThis week, our campus transformed into a true stage as campers became performers, dancers, singers, and actors in “Lights, Magic, Action!” — the grand finale of our summer adventure. Throughout the week, children prepared for the Les Lilas Show, rehearsing songs, choreographing dances, practicing lines, and discovering their own talents.
✨ On Friday, families were invited to take their seats. They watched with pride as their children lit up the stage — performing with confidence, courage, and pure joy. It was a powerful reminder that learning is not only about knowledge, but also about expression, creativity, and believing in yourself.

WEEK 7 (AUG 3 - AUG 7)
 MAKERS & CREATORS WEEK 🛠️

This week, our campers became true makers, designers, engineers, and inventors in “The Inventors’ Expo.” Our campus transformed into a mini innovation festival, where creativity met problem-solving and imagination turned into real-world creations. The projects and workshops invited children to explain their thinking, demonstrate tools, and share how they solved challenges along the way.
✨ On Friday, families were welcomed to the Inventors’ Expo. They raced through build challenges, added to collaborative art pieces, tested inventions, and witnessed their children shine as confident creators. The experience ended with a joyful Invention Reveal, celebrating not just what was built — but how children learned to think, try, fail, improve, and create.

WEEK 8 (AUG 10 - AUG 14)
 ULTIMATE ALL-STAR WEEK ⭐

allstar imageThis week, our campers became true all-stars, exploring teamwork, movement, and healthy competition in “Ultimate All-Star Week.” Each day brought a new sport and a new opportunity to move, play, and grow together.
Every game focused not on winning, but on participation, effort, and fair play. The week ended with a calm and joyful Yoga Friday, where children reflected, stretched, and celebrated everything they had accomplished over the summer.
✨ On Friday, families were invited to cheer. They watched their children demonstrate skills, play mini-matches, and share their favorite moments from the week — a beautiful celebration of energy, resilience, and the joy of moving together.
