Summer Program 2009 updates...

As summer approaches, we’d like to update you on the latest news about our International Children’s Summer Camp located at the Alliance Française and running from July 13th to August 14th this year!

We have an exciting program with visits to new sites and creative activities like pottery, drama, and art.
As mentioned previously, we'll also have a focus on languages and will practice French and Spanish with daily conversations, songs and stories.
