French summer camp for teens (9 17) immersion
Summer French course: having the confidence to speak makes all the difference.
For over 50 years, CERAN has been helping teenagers improve their language skills through active immersion that combines speaking practice, real-life interactions and an international environment.

French comes to life
At CERAN, your teenager won’t just sit there memorising vocabulary lists. They’ll engage in conversation. They’ll get involved. They’ll have the confidence to speak.
The language is practised:
in class,
during activities,
at mealtimes,
and in everyday conversations.
The result: French becomes more natural, more spontaneous… and much easier to use.

An immersion experience from morning to night
The language never stays theoretical. Your child practices it:
- during lessons
- during activities
- in everyday life on campus
- alongside international students
This constant practice creates lasting reflexes and more natural progress.

Learning by moving, interacting and creating
Each day combines:
- interactive lessons
- collaborative projects
- sports activities
- cultural discoveries
The result: your child truly uses the language instead of simply memorizing it.

A teaching approach that encourages participation
Presenting ideas. Defending a point of view. Creating together. Interacting naturally.
At CERAN, your child learns to use the language in practical and stimulating situations.
Our approach encourages:
- speaking confidently
- active listening
- spontaneity
- confidence in communication
Because a language develops best… when you dare to use it.

All the answers.
In all transparency.
We explain everything to you: supervision, safety, levels, organization and follow-up.
Yes absolutely. In some cases, we recommend adding a few individual courses during the internship.
A week already creates a feeling of ease and allows real progress. Two to three weeks make it possible to anchor linguistic mechanisms more permanently and to pass at least one European level. Our students stay for an average of just over two weeks. It depends on the goals, the travel time and the investment required to join us.
Children are housed on campus, in single or shared rooms, with a continuous supervision presence day and night.
Meals and breaks are included and taken in the target language with our trainers and animators to extend the immersion. Specific diets (vegetarian, allergies, medical needs) are carefully considered.
Internships are available in English, French, Dutch, and German. Other languages are organized on request (Spanish, Italian,...). Our online courses are available in 11 languages.
Our courses are organized on the principle of total immersion. All our course, meal and entertainment activities take place in the target language with our teams. Our courses are intended to be intensive (28 lessons per week, classes of 6-7 students on average), fun (numerous activities) and our interactive courses (based on our own method). Our trainers and animators are native or bilingual and trained in our method. The staff - student ratio is 1 - 3 to ensure linguistic security and practice.
The residential campus (Saint-Roch, Ferrières — Belgium) is fully supervised 24 hours a day by qualified teaching and animation teams during the day and by our guardian angels at night.
The supervision ratio is the highest (≈ 1 adult for 3 young people).
Clear protocols, accessibility records, a secure environment and support during excursions are in place.
Courses generally start on the last Sunday in June. The last week of classes ends at the end of the 3rd week of August.
