Monday - Friday / 8am - 5pm / ½ day 8am-12pm or 12pm-5pm

The FASRI Summer Camp provides a fun, safe opportunity for children to explore exciting activities in a culturally rich environment.

 

All camps are conducted in French by our qualified staff and adapted to all children (speakers or non-French speakers). Mixed in with fluent children, the children without French skills will enjoy the team work involved in an immersion based camp.
