Nacel Summer Camps in France are incredibly popular!

April 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Former participants of the French summer camps are very enthusiastic about this program combining French language courses and sports activities: students advise their schoolmates to book a place in the camp! The French and Tennis camp for example is very popular and already full! Students remain on a waiting list or switch to another sports offered, like Basketball, Rugby or Golf! The Soccer camp in France is also a very popular option among boys and girls!

The majority of students enrolled in the summer camp in France are English-speaking or Spanish-speaking. They really enjoy improving their French speaking skills while being friends with French teenagers and having fun! The French-speaking chaperones of the sports camp are there to help foreign participants to integrate in the group and supervise them during the sports activities. Students take a test on arrival in order to be placed in the right French level on arrival in the French language school.

Even if the camps are almost fully booked, students are encouraged to book the last available places of the Sports and French summer camp in France.

The origins of Nacel date to l957, when two language teachers from France began organizing summer sessions in England for French teenagers. Their goal was to provide opportunities for students to extend language learning and knowledge of another culture through a well-organized and affordable summer program. During the sixties these programs grew steadily and spread to Ireland. In l969, the organizers decided to ask some American teachers of French to arrange a summer homestay program for French teenagers in the United States. Over succeeding years, programs with Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Canada were added.

Since 1957, Nacel's programs have provided young people with the opportunity to discover new things about themselves and the world around them.

Nacel's offices around the world recognize the fundamental importance of adherence to a set of values based on respect for an individual regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin and social or financial status.
