Description

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. Fencing, archery, sailing, kayaking, swimming, photography, marine biology, and French culture, cuisine and language are options every day. 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. Surrounded by sparkling blue water of Puget Sound, this private island is waiting for you to explore its mile of shoreline, mossy promontories, and secluded beaches.  Make a masque fantastique for a masquerade ball, bake a tarte aux pommes, rapelle down to the ocean's edge, kayak to an island beach or beachcomb along the shores.
