All the France camps are taught in French only,
however, a few coaches speak some English. For many years, we have
participants coming from all over the world and a lot of them do not
speak French but accommodate very well to the camp as there is no
language barrier.

Mandatory French Law Requirement for Sports
Camps in France:
The camp requires, on the first day of the camp, a
doctor's medical certificate attesting that the participant is physically able
to participate fully in all sports activities during the camp.
All prices are per
person and in US dollars. Prices & availability are subject to
change without written notification and are not confirmed until full
payment has been made.
