Online Summer Camp
Summer camp is our flagship program that we have been developing and growing since we opened in 2009. Creating spaces for students to feel confident and have fun while learning French is something we excel at and this year we’re bringing that same enthusiasm and quality programming online!
Our curriculum, which has been developed by certified French teachers focuses on:
- Vocabulary Development
- Fluency of speech
- Improving writing skills
- Aural comprehension
- Increasing confidence in French while having fun!
This year as students practice social distancing, we were inspired by the opportunity to purposefully create more instances of joy, connection and positivity for our students and have updated our camp theme to: A Spark of Joy! -Une Étincelle De Joie! Each day we will practice French with daily topics like: The Joy of Colours (La Joie des Couleurs) The Joy of Space Exploration (La Joie d’Exploration d’Espace) The Joy of Fairy Tales (La Joie Des Contes De Fées)
During the camp, teachers will have many activities for the students to work through including writing ones. In our confirmation form we email out a few days before the camp, you can print out the writing worksheets if possible, however students will be able to complete all the activities with simply some blank paper, pencils, and makers or pencil crayons. Initially we were sending out physical workbooks however we found that too many families were not receiving them in time due to COVID-19 delays so we have updated to make sure everyone has the best possible experience and isn’t missing any essential items.
Full Day registrations also come with an LPP T-shirt.
Though our sessions are in one week increments, our teachers have two weeks of different lessons planned for each day. If you would like your child to participate for more than a week in either an AM, PM or full week session, let us know so we can make sure they are not in a week they have already completed.
We can’t wait to help our students feel confident and succeed in French this summer!
Update: We found that throughout July, too many families were not receiving the physical packages in time and so we have updated our program so that it can be completed with simply a blank paper and a pencil.
Online STEM Camp
Kids are naturally curious about the world around them and we want to help our students build a positive attitude towards STEM. We believe at Les Petites Pommes that we can all work together to raise children who appreciate science, believe in themselves, applaud the contribution of others, reach for the stars, and maybe change the world in the process.
Everyday our teacher Dr. Sihem Boujabi will present different science experiments for the students to participate in. This program will be offered from August 17-21 for ages 8-10 in the AM Session (9 AM-12 PM) and ages 11-13 in the PM session (1 PM-4 PM). Students only need to come equipped with a pencil and a paper for note taking and a curious mind for learning!
We were pleasantly surprised at how much she loved the online version…we were all a bit skeptical. I was pleased with the addition of the more academic aspects of the online program especially the conjugation of verbs and learning the future tense.

“My daughter loved the camp and she feels comfortable to speak french and try new words and isn’t shy anymore

I thought it was well organized, the teacher (thanks, Olivia) was engaging, fun, funny and also kept the kids in line with the planned programming and expected behaviour. My son said “it’s like school but better and the time goes fast”. That’s a good review from a 10 year old!
