Boot Camp Soleil is a French boot camp for kids ages 6–12 in Bayside, Queens. Children are fully immersed in French through songs, art, cooking, games, theater, and storytelling. No prior French is needed — our students range from complete beginners to heritage speakers.
Sessions run weekly from late June through August. All activities take place inside our classroom on Bell Boulevard — no transportation required. Parents simply drop off and pick up. We focus on building confidence, friendships, and language skills through fun, theme-based activities.
Every activity is designed for all levels — beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Kids learn French naturally through play, creativity, and culture. No pressure, just fun!
