Intensive French and Spanish Revision Courses:

Students can expect to be challenged in a supported environment. A set of  notes will be provided for students attending the summer academy. These will be of great use to students when preparing for exams at a High Level. As a result students would be expected to speak as much French as possible in class time in order to maximize exposure to the language.. The duration of each French language class is 2 hours & the maximum number of students per class is 16.

Level:
The Academy offers an "ordinary" and "higher" level course. Groups will be streamed according t an assesment upon their arrival at the camp. Previous examination results may also be taken into account.

Syllabus:
The course is organised around modules, each focusing on one topic, and promotes communicative proficiency, language awareness and cultural awareness.

Surf or Hockey Instruction:

- Surf instruction from surf instructors with international experience. Our surf instructors work with local French instructors to ensure that both languages can be spoken on the water.

- Our Hockey coaches are all fully qualified while also having top level international experience both playing and coaching.

Safety:
At the Academy, we are proud to go the extra mile in terms of safety. We believe that safety is paramount. The team is comprised of fully qualified and experienced  instructors. We ensure that a ratio of one instructor to eight pupils is strictly observed. In addition a lifeguard will be on duty at surf lessons. The team is familiar with local conditions and observes the safety guidelines prescribed by the International Surf Association.

Level:
At the Academy, we welcome beginners and intermediate/ advanced camp goers in their sport. We aim to create a fun and safe environment for newcomers to enjoy learning. For intermediate/ advanced  camp goers we aim to create the same fun and safe environment required for you to progress your skills with instruction from world class surfers and hockey coaches.

On the Water/ Out on the pitch:
Camp members will receive at least 8/11 (11 day camp/ fortnight camp) lessons, provided conditions permit. We go on our day trips when conditions are not safe. When conditions are perfect we make the most of it.

Off the Water:
At the Academy we offer the entire experience with lessons on water safety, ocean awareness and wave conditions.

Equipment:
All equipment will be provided by us, although participants may bring their own wet suits and boards if they so wish. Students must bring their own hockey sticks.
