Summer Camp Programs for English Language Learners ages 10-16:
English language learners are welcome to enroll in any of our Summer Camp classes below (unless a class is listed as requiring native English proficiency).
Speaking & Presentation: Beginning & Intermediate Levels
Through repeated practice and small group activities, students become more at ease in your overall language ability through extensive work on pronunciation, enunciation, and projection. Students will be assessed and divided into appropriate levels on the first day of class.
Reading & Writing: Beginning & Writing Levels
Our instructors begin with the basics, and guide you through the rules of English composition. Then, through reading, students develop their English vocabulary, and work on expressing their thoughts clearly and eloquently in writing.
Advanced ELL: Intro to William Shakespeare
This class is intended for Advanced ELL students who are preparing to study an American curriculum, be it in the U.S. or at an international school in your home country. Shakespeare's plays are known throughout the world and have been translated into every major language. He is required reading for most American junior and high school students.
Advanced ELL: Intro to the SATs (SAT Preparation)
For ELL students, the SAT test can be quite intimidating as you are not only being tested on your cognitive skills, but also on your English comprehension. In this class, we go over the different components of the SAT and discuss strategies and study tips.

Canoe Island French Camp
Courses / Programs
Summer fun with a French accent! L’été avec un petit accent! Learn to speak French and enjoy the fun of an overnight summer camp on a private island. Find a little bit of France in the San Juan Islands at this Northwest Washington sleepover summer camp, one of the country's premier French camps. Campers, ages 9-16, take part in a unique mix of French language and culture through artistic and outdoor activities. At Canoe Island French Camp we try to insure that our older campers have opportunities to plan and do activities as a group with staff: sunset campfires on a beach, an off-island trip to Friday Harbor, and one- or two-night sailing and kayaking outings. Tipis are arranged by age and, where possible, French class and French Culture class, too. With only 45 campers on the island, you can choose your own experience - artistic and theatrical, adventuresome and athletic - or any combination. Days are filled with new friends and exciting activities all with a French flair. A gala Bon Voyage Banquet, talent show and awards ceremony end each session.
Mornings at camp are devoted to French language classes and activities: fencing, French cuisine, and culture, theater, art, and photography.
In the afternoon campers choose on a daily basis between swimming, sailing, kayaking, archery, art, rock climbing and a variety of sports. French songs, vocabulary for activities, and games are incorporated into each day.
Evening programs include campfires, theatrical and musical productions, beach cookouts and campfires, camp-wide games, and astronomy.
