Lycée Français de New York

Quelques images du Camp Pontiac l’été dernier… 🤩 Encore un grand bravo à ces élèves-athlètes pour leur ténacité-commitment et leurs superbes performances en 2025 !

Dans une quinzaine de jours, une nouvelle promotion d'élèves-athlètes se retrouvera dans le nord de l'État de New York pour préparer la saison automnale. Pendant trois jours, le Camp Pontiac permettra à nos jeunes sportifs de faire plus ample connaissance avec leurs camarades et leurs entraîneurs dans une ambiance conviviale, tout en développant leurs compétences entre préparation physique et développement de l’esprit d’équipe.

Nous leur souhaitons un séjour inoubliable ! Go Lynx!

Another unforgettable Lycée Summer Camp is in the books!

Over four weeks, campers explored, created, played, and discovered—all en français. From returning favorites to new specialized camps like Creative Design & Sewing, Chess, Judo, and Cooking, each day brought new opportunities to build skills, spark curiosity, and make lasting memories with our French-speaking teachers and expert instructors.

Un grand merci to our incredible instructors and after-school team for making every activity a chance to learn.

À l'année prochaine ! ☀️

Summer Camp with Hervé Aka, former member of the French National Judo Team!

This summer, campers spent their afternoons learning techniques, practicing with partners, and playing judo games, with a French athlete of the sport!

Judo has become an integral part of sports culture in France, making it the perfect addition to our French immersion Summer Camp!

Designed for campers of all levels, Judo Camp introduced students to the fundamentals of the sport while encouraging confidence, coordination, teamwork, and respect.

Getting creative in French at Lycée Summer Camp! 🎨🧵

Whether they're making music, creating art, or designing handmade projects, campers are exploring their creativity every day—all while learning and speaking French.

In our Creative Design & Sewing Camp, campers didn't just sew, they learned to conjugate one of French's trickiest verbs, too: coudre. Je couds, tu couds, il/elle coud… and voilà, beautiful creations to take home.

Led by our after-school instructor Christine Ahn, campers designed and created woven projects, hand-sewn tissue holders, beach-themed candles, decorated keepsake boxes, and hand-dyed skirts.

Bravo à nos jeunes artistes ! Stay tuned as we continue sharing Summer Camp highlights!

From opening moves to checkmate! ♟️

Our brand-new Chess Camp was a major highlight of this year's Summer Camp program. Campers dove headfirst into the game!

Throughout the week, campers explored chess through interactive lessons, puzzles, and matches led by our after-school chess instructor, Bert Leonard. Each day brought new opportunities to think ahead, solve challenges, and put fresh strategies into practice around the board.
