Why go for a Football Summer Camp in France?

France is one of the most popular destinations for players who are looking for a football summer camp. Here's why:

 

1.    It has an incredibly rich culture

These football summer camps take place in some of the most attractive cities in France, including Paris. The camp programmes include fieldtrips to the city's main attractions, so students will get to experience French culture, language, and gastronomy first-hand.

In some cases, they will also get the chance to visit some of the most important football clubs in France.

 

2.    It offers a unique opportunity to learn French

Attending a summer camp abroad can be a highly beneficial experience of personal growth, where language plays a significant role.

Being immersed in an all-French environment forces students to leave their comfort zone and sharpen their senses to be able to follow the instructions of the coaching and supervision staff. The first couple of days can be hard, but after this necessary adaptation period, the learning process becomes easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

Spending one or more weeks with other international students from around the world encourages children to communicate in a foreign language, sometimes even more than one!

Furthermore, if you choose a camp with language lessons, students will adapt much quicker and make the most of this learning experience.
