About Program
Pick the France that suits you or your teen. Three styles of camp run across the country: sports camps in Vichy and Mâcon, where training with French teammates keeps the language flowing; city camps in Paris, with French lessons in the morning and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre in the afternoon; and Riviera camps, where small French classes share the week with beach time, sailing and trips to Cannes, Nice and Monaco.
Most camps are residential and supervised around the clock, and many welcome beginners. Sports programs run one or two weeks, and Paris camps one to three, so families can match the length to the student.
Ages range from 12 to 19 depending on the camp.
A short stay of living, eating and joking in French builds confidence that carries back into the classroom at home.

You stay in a boarding school with all meals, supervised around the clock, for one to three weeks. All levels from beginner to upper-intermediate are welcome.
Pick a sport and spend one or two weeks training in France. Options include tennis, soccer, basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton, padel, gymnastics, swimming and dance, with around 30 hours of coaching a week. You train alongside French teenagers, so French becomes the language of the court, the pool and the dinner table. Camps in Vichy, Mâcon and Montauban are residential and supervised around the clock. Ages 13 to 17; all the camps expect prior experience.
Study French on the Côte d’Azur and spend your afternoons by the sea. Mornings bring French lessons, 15 hours a week, in classes of 10 to 12 for every level from beginner up.

You stay in an air-conditioned residence about ten minutes’ walk from the beach, or with a host family, with all meals included. Camp leaders supervise around the clock, with free time depending on age.
Response from Nacel Educational Travel
Dear Lily Faye, it was such a pleasure to assist you with this unique exchange experience. It's so nice to hear that you learned so much about French culture, particularly through the unique habits and customs of your host family. Eating fruit before meals, embracing walking as a means of transportation, and delving into the history of new cities are indeed wonderful ways to immerse oneself in a new environment.
It's also fantastic to know that NACEL's pairing process was successful in matching you with a host family that provided both comfort and challenge, creating an environment where you could grow and learn while feeling supported.
Maintaining a connection with your host family speaks volumes about the bond that was formed during your stay. These relationships often become cherished memories that last a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us, and we hope your journey continues to be filled with enriching cultural exchanges and meaningful connections.
