Mornings start with French language class at all levels, followed by activities such as fencing, French cuisine, and French culture, as well as theater, art, and photography: activities you choose prior to camp. French songs, vocabulary for activities, and French games are incorporated into each day.
In the afternoon choose on a daily basis between swimming, sailing, kayaking, archery, art, theater, rock climbing and a variety of sports (tennis, soccer, volleyball, and basketball). You even have the option to learn to snorkel in the camp's swimming pool and then explore the shorelines to investigate the fascinating marine organisms of the area.
Evening programs can include campfires, theatrical and musical productions, beach cookouts or campfires, camp-wide games, astronomy, and cultural or natural history presentations.
Special activities each session include:
Marine Wildlife Cruise: Each session campers board an exploratory vessel to seek orca and gray whales and to learn about the other wildlife that inhabit the Salish Sea.
- Grasse Matinée: Sunday morning is late wakeup with breakfast served to order from 9:00-10:00.
- Inspiration Point: Following Sunday morning breakfast we gather on Inspiration Point overlooking the waters of Indian Cove to share our experiences and thoughts about the previous week and to sing songs accompanied by guitar.
- Le Spectacle de Jacques Martin: Named after a French children's TV show host, our talent show provides an opportunity for individuals and small groups to perform on an instrument, sing a song, read a poem, or dance.
- Our gala Bon Voyage Banquet, a 7-course French dinner, ends each session.
