What is it?
Our Day Camps are little adventures packed into one day—just like Spring and Summer Camps, but in a shorter, magical burst! Kids dive into games, stories, and creative projects that make learning feel like play, all while soaking up French in a fun and natural way.
We need at least 5 registrations to open any camps.
Drop-Off is between 8:45am and 9:00am / Pick-Up is between 3:30pm and 3:45pm / After-Care is offered from 3:30pm to 5:30pm
What parents say about it?
"The Alliance's children's summer camps are the best kept secret in DC--I hesitate to write this for fear the word will get out! Not only do my children enrich their French language skills, they have fun doing so with things like Judo and origami. The teachers are marvelous, and love interacting with kids. A field trip to a DC museum is an enriching addition to the week. My kids love the camp so much that the car ride home is filled with stories of the fun from the day. Merci beaucoup!" - Mother of Linus
"We wanted our daughter to be excited about learning French and to pick up a few words and phrases. AFDC met those goals in a warm, friendly camp that was fun and engaging. The field trip was a hit!" - Parents of Penelope
"We love the camp! Our daughter is engaged and learning throughout the day. We couldn't recommend it more strongly" - Parents of Nina
"I love this camp. It is so refreshing to see my kid do simple things like crafts, outdoors play, reading, interacting with other kids. The fact that it is in French makes it even better. And I feel like the kids really have the full attention of staff and are safe and well cared for - the daily emails help a lot with that feeling." - Mother of Max
