MAISON MONET: French Art Camp is a unique children's day camp providing an artistic summer option for ages 7-12 in a French language environment, located in Mt. Vernon, WA just off I-5.
FUN SUMMER ACTIVITES:
Camp Director, Elli Gildnes provides a balanced educational program with a variety of fun hands-on activities. Part of the morning will center on French language acquisition - key vocabulary related to the weekly theme. Campers will practice this vocabulary throughout the afternoon in activities such as quality arts, drama, music, yoga and cooking.
Campers will have recreational time during outside activities and games. In addition, horseback riding (2x/week at Lang's Horse & Pony Farm) and swim lessons at the YMCA (4x/week) are scheduled. When possible, art takes place outside on the grounds or in the art chalet.
NO FRENCH NECESSARY:
The program at Maison Monet: French Art Camp allows campers to develop French language skills in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. French is spoken all day so that campers are immersed in the language, however English is used as needed. With only a 12 camper maximum per group, each camper receives the individual attention and support they need to learn French and have fun.
