Nestled in the stunning French Alps, our International Language Camps offer a unique blend of language immersion and adventure. Established over 25 years ago, we welcome children aged 6 to 16 from around the world. Our programs combine fun language lessons in French or English with exciting sports, cultural activities, and excursions. What sets us apart is our emphasis on cultural exchange—English-speaking students learning French mix with French students learning English, creating a dynamic and enriching environment. Campers enjoy an unforgettable experience in Megève, staying in a beautiful, secure setting. Whether for one week or several, our camps foster personal growth, new friendships, and lifelong memories.
Each camper is unique to us. We pick each child at the airport upon their arrival and inform parents. Our director, prior to the enrolment calls each parent to see what their expectations are, tell them more about our program, answer all their questions and make sure that our camp is a good match to child'/parents expectations. The first experiences in life are of the utmost importance. We want students to have FUN while learning a language and with the language different cultures.The language school was founded 27 years ago. Most of our campers are returning campers and some of them become our counsellors in training, and then counsellors .We have 1 counsellor per 5 children, language groups are 6-8 students.

Yes it sounds like a dream—learning French, nestled in the Alps—and for the students that attend, there are no doubt lots of pinch-me moments. That said, there’s more afoot here than glorious vistas and great food (though there are indeed both of those). Students come together with peers from around the world for the purpose of language learning, thought that’s just the tip of the iceberg. They learn about themselves, and their place in the world; they have a first-hand experience of what it means to be a global citizen within a truly global learning environment. Given that French is the one language that all the participants share, there’s an immediacy that comes with using it, and an imperative not simply to make sure that verbs and subjects agree, but to make yourself understood to others. It’s an adventure, though one that, for many reasons, will have a substantive and lasting effect. An expressed goal of the program is to shape and influence young people to create a better world. Truly, if there's one thing that could do that, it's programs like this one: bringing young people together from disparate cultures to share some time, ideas, and fun. All sessions are impeccably run, out of impeccable facilities in the shadow of Mont Blanc.

Our Camp director has a required diploma to run a camp and is assisted by a camp assistant director. Both have years of experience in working with children.The camp is of a small size, more like a big family, and each child has to be taken care of individually. Each child is unique, so is our approach.Our school director supervises the program and parents are welcome to contact her or the camp director at any time.We want each child to live the best moments of their lives with us

Dear parents and campers,
following our ‘special’ experience with the camp this summer in Megeve we are very happy to announce that we are already preparing the next winter and summer camp. We learned a lot this summer and the camp was a great success, different from the other years and adapted fully to a covid sitution .We strictly respected all the measures that were imposed and the children enjoyed the mountains even more . Specially after a lockdown they were finally able to run and do activities freely outside. Mountains proved to be the best place to be in such a situation. Big spaces, outdoor activities, fresh air… all this and more made our campers very happy. We are very proud of what we have achieved this summer. We proved that it was possible to organize a camp in safe conditions. We also had quite a few ‘virtual’ campers and we are planning on organizing a virtual camp again next summer for those who might not be able to come.
We have introduced a new cancellation policy due to a covid. All the students enrolled will be fully reimbursed in case:
– we have to cancel the program
– you cannot leave your country or enter France due to covid governemental orders
– you cannot leave your home area in France due to covid governemental orders
– covid health problems
At the heart of the French Alps, in the prestigious village of Megève, the children spend an unforgettable summer surrounded by the beautiful mountains. EXCELLENCE, SAFETY AND FUN!
What better way for them to engage in numerous sports and artistic activities than to be with young people from all over the world, to LIVE a foreign language? In the morning, they take language classes in small groups and by levels. The goal is to learn while playing, having fun and creating thanks to language, theater and civilization workshops. The afternoon is dedicated to different activities: golf, rafting, climbing, fishing, yoga or tree climbing. Once a week, the campers have the opportunity to explore the glacier Mer de Glace on the Mont Blanc or visit Annecy and its famous lake.
The excellence of the program, the great experience and the safety of every child have made International Language Camps famous. From the reception at the airport – at the families’ convenience – until the end of the stay, the camp team is available at all times for parents to keep them informed about the well being of their children.
An exciting and fun opportunity to learn not only a language but also to live with children from other countries and learn about their cultures.
In the morning, we have language workshops but forget about school! With small groups, every camper participates and gets involved! They have language lessons but also a theater workshop and a civilization workshop where they can practice the language in a fun way. On Saturdays it’s show time! The campers put on a show that they’ve been preparing all week and it’s amazing to see how much fun they can have speaking a language they weren’t confident in at the beginning of the week. We have about 50% of the children that come from all over the world to learn French but also 50% of French children who come to learn English. This is a unique opportunity for the children learning French to actually practice the language with native speakers their own age.
But it’s not all lessons and workshops. The afternoons are for fun, exciting activities. Being in the mountains and in the world-renowned village of Megève, there are so many activities to enjoy: rafting, climbing, swimming, hiking…. And these are just the obvious ones – every year we add new surprises.
On Sundays, we have a field trip to amazing places such as the glacier ‘Mer de Glace’ on the Mont Blanc mountain range or the wonderful Lake Annecy – the Venice of the Alps.
Our camps are so much fun and our dedicated multi-national team adds that extra touch. We like to keep things small and you can be assured that your child will be looked after as if in a big family. We are very proud of the excellence of our program and our staff.
Next year we will welcome campers from July 4th to August 7th, 2021.
We will propose 3 differents programs:
– the Fun program for 6 to 9 year olds
– the Adrenaline program for 10 to 13 year olds
– the Mont-Blanc program for 14 to 17 year olds
This year, camper can also choose options such as tennis, golf, Climbing and Dance lessons with a professional or Intensive language lessons in private lessons.
