More about this camp

The Junior Summer Day Camp is run by Alpine French School at the Sainte Marie Primary School, a traditional French school in the centre of Morzine, in the Haute-Savoie department of the French Alps. This is a day camp, not a residential programme. Students attend from 9:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, and no overnight accommodation is provided or required. Families therefore need to be staying in or near Morzine for the duration. Programme and activities. Mornings are dedicated to French lessons. Children are placed in age-based clubs rather than a single mixed group: Club Montagne for ages 6 to 7, Club Explorateur for 8 to 10, Club Aventure for 11 to 14 and Club Altitude for 15 to 17. A half-day option consisting of morning French lessons only is also listed, which extends access to younger children from 5. The club structure means the activity content differs by age band, and families should ask what each club actually does before choosing. Ages, dates and duration. The overall range across all options runs from 5 to 17, but no single course covers that span — eligibility depends on the club. Session dates in the current listing begin in late July. Parents should confirm which clubs are running on their chosen dates, since not every age band necessarily operates every week. Location and travel. Morzine is a village in the Portes du Soleil area of the Haute-Savoie, in the French Alps near the Swiss border. Geneva is the nearest airport, around an hour and a half away by road. Because this is a day camp, families arrange their own accommodation and daily transport to the school; no transfers are included. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families spending the summer in Morzine — whether they own or rent there, or are on an extended stay — who want their children in structured French-language activity during the day. It is also one of the few options in the catalogue open to children as young as 5. It does not suit families looking to send a child abroad independently, since there is no accommodation or supervision outside camp hours.
