Summer in Europe (France, preferably?)

<p>Hey, so I'm currently looking for a good summer program in France. No one of those "study-abroad" programs or enchanges, but one that local kids there go to, so I can be immersed in a real French environment. Can anyone who's in France or has lived there tell me about some good camps, summer programs you know there, and help me? Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Please, any comment might help!! Feel free!!!</p>

<p>Yeah, I wanted to do the same thing. I’m also currently looking for a good program, and I agree, don’t go on one of those study abroad trips, because they don’t help much. A friend of mine tried it once, didn’t help much, so I should know. So yeah, if anyone’s got any ideas about summer programs in France? That would be great. Be sure to let me know!</p>

<p>If you post this in the study abroad section, you’ll probably get some better reply’s. Depending on your level of French, and if you have a general command of the language, you could look into programs that offer homestays or exchanges, though most are not during the summer…</p>

<p>I’m french from Paris. I really don’t advise you to go to a french camp because they are simply very bad (generally speaking). Do you speak french (or at least understand) ? because without that you’ll be totally lost as only a few french people speaks english.
If you still want to go you should attend a camp with a specialty (I mean a litterature ou scientific camp for example). I don’t have a specific one in mind, sorry.
If you have any other question, I’ll be happy to help !</p>
