VSF and its Partners:

ALTIA CLUB ALADIN & PONEYS DE 4 SAISON

The French organizations we represent have more than 25 years of experience and offer the best educational summer camp programs in France.
These camps are all regulated by the French government. all camps programs have been approved by the "Ministère de la Jeunesse et des Sports".

Our camps are all accredited and regulated by the French government and all have an excellent safety record. All camp programs have been approved by the "Ministère de la Jeunesse et des Sports".

The Camp counselors all possess the BAFA diploma, each camp Director the BAFD.

The primary concern of each staff member is the health and safety of each camper. We have staff with first aid qualifications.

The low camper-to-counsellor ratio (6/1 for young children and 9/1 for teens) ensures attention to children’s individual needs, their physical health, hygiene, their social growth and development. Our primary goal is to see that each child feels at home as soon as he/she arrives in France (There is at least one English-speaking counsellor in each camp to help beginners).

VIVRE SANS FRONTIERES (VSF)

VSF Europe LLC is a French American company. We have been offering VSF Program abroad since 1996.

We work with individual families but also teachers and schools (International schools, Lycée Français, French Alliances, Bilingual school...). French teachers from around the world recommend their students to VSF.

We welcome children from around the world who all have a passion for France, it's language, it's culture.

This is an Immersion Program. 90% of the campers are French natives and all activities are in French. We recommend 2 years of French studies to attend VSF (exceptions will be considered after evaluation by the Program Director).

Our staff is there to assist the camp staff, to coordonate, organize and supervise the linguistic program. We assist foreign campers and ensure constant contact between families, the children, and the camp organization.

Children stay under VSF's supervision during their stay in Paris and by the camp staff (couselors and professional instructors) during hteir stay at camp.

Children are fully supervised at all times. Our primary gaol is their safety and well being.

VSF provides every camper with full medical insurance coverage. Each family receives a detailed description of coverage prior to departure.
