Join L’Alliance New York at French Camp this summer at its Manhattan and Montclair campuses. Running for nine weeks from late June through late August, L’Alliance offers one of the longest and most affordable French immersion camp experiences in the New York area. This year, children of all ages and levels of French dive into the world of art in all its forms—from music and theater to visual arts and movement—all in French. Older students extend their learning through inspiring cultural experiences across New York City for Manhattan campers, and throughout Montclair and the surrounding area for Montclair campers. Enroll now for an adventure your child won’t want to miss. Weekday classes (45 to 90 minutes) are also offered for young children—ages 1–5 in Manhattan and ages 1–7 in Montclair (Saturdays only)—as well as week-long French immersion programs for teens (ages 11–18) at both campuses. 5% sibling and 10% multiple-week discounts are available.
