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.

| • Studio Mode – Dress up | • Blocks & Legos – Towers, marble runs... |

WEEK 1 (JUNE 22 - JUNE 26)
REIMAGINE OUR FOREST 🌲
Nature Explorer Corners: A Forest Walk Showcase
Transform the nearby forest into a series of childcreated exploration corners, each highlighting a different part of Nature Explorer Week. 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 2)
SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE 🌌
This week, our young scientists, artists, and dreamers become true cosmic creators! In “Create the Universe”, children explore space through hands-on projects, imagination, and scientific discovery.
Our youngest campers will explore space with sensory play, while older students become engineers, storytellers, and astronomers.
✨ On Friday, parents are invited to step into their children’s universe.
You will walk the orbit trail, test rockets, explore moon craters, and listen to the young astronauts explain planets, stars, and space myths in their own words. A joyful, moving moment — where learning becomes visible, and children truly become the teachers.
PLEASE NOTE: July 3rd there will be no camp (observed holiday)
WEEK 3 (JULY 6 - JULY 10)
JOURNEY TO THE HIDDEN CORNERS OF THE EARTH -- AROUND THE WORLD 🌎

Children will craft their own passports and proudly guide their families through continent stations, explaining what they created and what they learned.
✨ On Friday, parents are invited to join the journey.
They will travel from continent to continent, discovering the world through their child’s eyes. A joyful celebration of curiosity, culture, and confidence — where children become true global guides.

This week, our campers dive deep into the mysteries of the ocean in “Legends of the Sea”, becoming marine biologists, explorers, and ocean protectors.
From building vibrant coral reefs to exploring magical tide pools, children discover how life changes beneath the waves, learning about real environmental challenges through hands-on conservation activities.
✨ On Friday, parents are invited to dive in.
They will travel from reef to tide pool, testing experiments, sorting “trash vs. treasure,” and walk through glowing deep-sea tunnels — all led by their own young ocean guides. It will be an unforgettable underwater adventure, where science, imagination, and environmental awareness come together beautifully.
WEEK 5 (JULY 20 - JULY 24)
THE CURIOUS MINDS LABORATORY 🧪
This week, our campers step into the world of science as real researchers in “The Curious Minds Laboratory.” With lab coats, goggles, and big curiosity, children explore chemistry, physics, and life science through hands-on experiments and discovery.
Each child proudly becomes a junior scientist, ready to explain what they tested, what they observed, and what surprised them most.
✨ On Friday, parents are invited into the lab.
They predict reactions, race rockets, explore plant roots, and watch their children confidently explain scientific concepts in their own words. It is a joyful celebration of curiosity, experimentation, and critical thinking — where children don’t just learn science… they live it.
WEEK 6 (JULY 27 - JULY 31)
LIGHTS, MAGIC, ACTION! (LES LILAS SHOW) 🎭

Throughout the week, children prepare for the Les Lilas Show, rehearsing songs, choreographing dances, practicing lines, and discovering their own talents.
✨ On Friday, families are invited to take their seats.
They will watch with pride as their children light up the stage — performing with confidence, courage, and pure joy. It is 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 🛠️
The Inventors’ Expo
This week, our campers become true makers, designers, engineers, and inventors in “The Inventors’ Expo.” Our campus will transform into a mini innovation festival, where creativity meets problem-solving and imagination turns into real-world creations.
The projects and workshops invite children to explain their thinking, demonstrate tools, and share how they solved challenges along the way.
✨ On Friday, families are welcomed to the Inventors’ Expo.
They race through build challenges, add to collaborative art pieces, test inventions, and witness their children shine as confident creators. The experience ends with a joyful Invention Reveal, celebrating not just what was built — but how children learn to think, try, fail, improve, and create.
