Summer Program 2012

"A La Vanille" is happy to offer an exciting Summer program running for six weeks from Jun 25-Aug 03. Summer camp is open Monday through Friday, 8:45 am till 4 pm. Children will enjoy discovering culturally relevant themes to expound on the learning-through-fun environment. As in years past, campers will play outdoors in the water, work in the vegetable garden and create art and craft projects based on our Multicultural themes, all in natural French language immersion environment. Children will be split up into groups, so that they participate in age-appropriate activities.

All six weeks of summer camp will include age-appropriate multi-cultural activities based on French-speaking countries such as Africa, Canada and France. Such activities include cooking, learning dances and songs and creating art projects to bring home. Parents are encouraged to provide a disposable camera for children to get some pictures of the fun. To sign up for some or all of the weeks, please hit the button at the bottom of the page.

Canada
Canada
  Students will learn about how maple syrup comes from trees. They will get to enjoy eating some maple crepes and also have a wonderful lunch of authentic Canadian Poutine.
L'Afrique
Africa
Children will make art projects based on African animals and sing and dance to Franco-African music. We will make and eat a kid-friendly version of the famous African staple called Fufu. As every summer, we read charming French-language children�s books from Africa.
France
France
  All campers will participate in creating a giant Eiffel Tower for our display board and also make a smaller version to bring home. We will sit at a Parisian cafe where children must each order their lunch form a grumpy, French waiter. Like every summer, freshly baked chocolate croissants will be on the menu!
Afrique du Nord
North Africa
  Last year we introduced "Chouchoka", a Moroccan ratatouille, which students and teachers raved about! This year we will enjoy it again and children will bring some home for parents to try! They will also have a blast learning to pour herbal mint tea from high above the tea cup, as done in North Africa. Please send a disposable camera so we can take a shot of the fun!
