Learning French through the Outdoors

Students develop their fluency and earn a French credit in this immersive four-week experience, as they learn to pitch tents, build fires, paddle, identify edible plants, imitate bird calls, and much more. The program starts on our beautiful campus and builds toward an extended camping expedition in an Ontario wilderness park. The final week of the program is spent online, completing the course from anywhere in the world.
