A summer for getting active, creating, and having fun... all in French!

The Carrefour francophone 2026 summer camps offer children a dynamic and enriching outdoor experience!

Each week offers a varied program designed to meet the needs, interests, and development of different age groups. Children participate in fun, athletic, creative, and educational activities that promote independence, cooperation, socialization, and the joy of learning!

Carrefour francophone summer camps are also an artistic adventure! Children develop a host of creative and artistic skills, guided and inspired by passionate local artists.

A balanced and flexible approach

Our winning formula is based on balance:

  • structured activities and free time;
  • active games and creative moments;
  • festive games and discoveries in nature.

Children have the freedom to choose, explore, and express themselves, while evolving in a well-supervised and reassuring environment.

Accompanied by an attentive and qualified team, children enjoy a summer filled with fun, discoveries, and wonderful memories, all in French!

Our artists and workshops!

Patrick Breton, an experienced Scout from Sudbury, passionately shares his knowledge of outdoor living through dynamic workshops. At Scout camp, children learn survival skills, first aid, orienteering, archery, leather working, and other essential skills in an atmosphere that is both rigorous and friendly.

Pierre-André Muila, a teacher and passionate dancer, founder of the group Bigmoves, shares his energy through Afro and hip-hop dance workshops. In a positive and motivating environment, children discover rhythms and movements, develop their coordination, creativity, and confidence, all while having fun. The goal is to move, laugh, and learn in an inclusive and energetic atmosphere!

Monsieur André (André Thériault), a singer-songwriter and seasoned entertainer, has been touring Canada for over 20 years with his shows featuring traditional French-language songs. Through music, humor, and active participation, he gets children singing, dancing, and laughing in a festive, intergenerational atmosphere, highlighting the richness of Canada’s oral tradition.

Alexandre Matte, a storyteller and educator from Sudbury, leads interactive workshops where children create stories using idea cards and dice. In a playful atmosphere tailored to their pace, they invent characters and situations—sometimes absurd or funny—and explore different ways of storytelling. Younger children participate by suggesting ideas and reacting, while older children can improvise their own stories, thereby developing their imagination, oral expression, and the joy of creating together.

France Huot, a theatre artist based in N’Swakamok (Sudbury), is an actor, creator, and arts educator. In her crankie workshop, children are invited to draw and tell a story using a small cardboard device that scrolls through the images. Each participant creates, assembles, and takes home their own box, all while exploring imagination, drawing, and the joy of storytelling in a different way.

Jérémy Lambert, Assistant executive and Cultural Director at the Carrefour francophone, leads construction workshops during summer camps. Using wood, nails, hammers, and various materials, children learn to use basic tools, create, and collaborate as a team. Each project becomes an adventure rich in discovery, creativity, and teamwork.

Pandora Topp, an artist-educator trained in art education and educational psychology, will lead the clown camp, an introduction to the performing arts. She will also lead an impromptu activity!
