After School Program for Big Kids!
From: 5 years old
What: An outdoor French immersion program with amazing adventure, exploration and discovery!
Our program:
- Treasure Quest: The young adventurers will have to find some treasure into the wild following a map (a paper one). The perfect way to learn new words (both in French and English), and to get some exercise after a busy day sitting at school.
- Les Kidz TV: Become a young journalist, develop your curiosity, look for the information and present your analysis clearly in front of the others.
We will mix both activities during the semester.
When: Every Wednesday along the Fall semester (September 8 to December 15, 2021). 14 sessions (No class on November 14).
Where: Probably around our schools but we allow us to enlarge our exploration. Depending of the families enrolled.
Commitment & Tuition: We are asking for a commitment for the semester. 14 classes of 1h30 each. Early bird tuition $375. After August 1st, $450.
Hours: 3:30pm-5pm (Depending of the families enrolled, we can adapt the hours to fit with the school schedule.)
Enrollment: Fill the form below or send us an email!
Number of spots is very limited. If we have to cancel because of Wildfire and smoke, you will be reimbursed.
Holidays Camp
We imagined camp, where young children will breath and will enjoy social interaction in an inventive and creative way. They will practice cooking, building, woodworking, learn about music, arts, gardening, discovering the nature, and learning about the wildlife. Understanding the why and the how, the causes and the consequences.
A new way to learn and to teach. More sustainable, taking care of our needs and the needs of the life around us.
Lunch/ Snacks
We will prepare our lunch together.
We will use only local organic fresh ingredients.
The children will learn about the food and their properties. Proteins, vitamins,… Where to find them. How to compose a vegetarian meal with all what we need for our body.
