very professional, It looked good in the internet and then when we spoke to Madame Tina – she made us feel very comfortable. we knew by speaking to her that our child will be in good hands. it was a milestone for her. she loved the camp. 1st time she had sleep over. And she bounded with other kids.
My daughter loves Megève and the camp. Small town, safe, wonderful staff etc. She was happy, learned a little, enjoyed her time and helped her grow.
Awesome camp! Super coaches! Varied activities! Fun guaranteed anytime during the summer! A unique opportunity to make new friends from other schools and see again the ones from LGB. Be prepared: you will want to go back…many times!!! Don’t forget – you have to sign up!
ADA DJUMISIC, School Director
we are happy to announce that Summer Camp Registration is now open for 2019! After a record number of campers in 2018, we are expecting even more this year as we have room to grow. Invite a friend, tell a neighbor, or just make a difference in a child’s life by encouraging and helping them get to International Language Camps this summer.
This year, we are introducing brand new programming during our 6 weeks program. Allow me to introduce you to just a few examples of our new and dynamic events and activities this summer:
• During some Weeks, campers will have the opportunity to receive tennis or golf lessons from a premier coaching company and manga academy lessons.
I believe that the Summer Camp experience can have a life-long impact on a child. Camp provides a child with opportunities to become more independent, foster their self-esteem, make new friends, learn new skills, and develop an appreciation for the natural world. Our traditional approach combined with a modern facility and a fully qualified, dynamic staff team ensures the highest quality experience for every ILC’s camper.
At the end of a week of ILC camp, I want every child to say, "I loved my counselors, I had a ton of fun, I made a lot of new friends from all over the world, I would love to come back and actually it all happened in French!"
Thank you for your interest in ILC. I look forward to meeting you in person and answering any questions that you have.

Given all the factors to consider when choosing a summer program, parents should look at the security of the Summer Camp. There are several things that must be considered: Location, facilities, staff, medical support and activities are points to consider as safe.
Choosing a Great Summer Program: Advice for Parents
What is a good program?
Good summer programs encourage kids to learn new things about themselves and to explore unfamiliar activities. As you begin to research programs, you should ask how a program will influence your children now and in the future.
