- Registration: The registration link will be published on this webpage on Monday, March 2.

NEW! Lunch Option: Parents can now order a Lunch Box from Little Green Gourmets for the camp. The link to order lunch will be posted here on Monday, March 9. The deadline to place an order is the Wednesday before the start of each week of the summer camp: June 17 for week 1, June 24 for week 2, and July 1 fr week 3. Families may also choose to send a packed lunch from home. Please ensure that your child brings their lunch at morning drop-off. Please note that The École is a nut-free environment; all lunches brought from home must not contain any nut products.
Our summer camp has been designed to provide children with a bilingual experience similar to The École’s regular school program—but with lots of additional summer fun. At our Flatiron District campus and the surrounding Madison Square Park, campers learn and practice both French and English and discover the two cultures through daily art, music, theater, sports, and many other workshops and activities!
Our summer camp staff is composed entirely of The École’s Maternelle, Elementary, and After-School program teachers. All are native speakers in French or English and have extensive experience working with language learners of all levels. They ensure campers have the opportunity to improve their French and English language skills, at their own pace and in relaxed and enriching settings.
