Intensive French Summer Camp?




Eliza


I'm trying to find an intensive French language camp/camp in French (in France) for teenagers over the summer...the only problem is, I'd like the whole program to be in French. I found http://www.oxbridgeprograms.com/academie-de-france/ but it's so expensive and I want to see if there's anything more affordable.

Merci mille fois :)

Answer
There are summer camps in France called "colonies de vacances" but they are for the children of residents in France.and they do not offer language tuition but simply summer activities.
Obviously there also are summer schools for foreigners in many places and these offer all sorts of activities to their participants, but you are bound to find that there are other English speaking students taking part though the language spoken by tutors and monitors will be French.

Answer
Francisco Camps-Ribera
Presented by The Angel Tarrac Virtual Museum


Camps-Ribera, circa 1985, Santa Ana, California.


The Painter Francisco Camps-Ribera (1895-1991) was born in Barcelona, Spain, and attended "L' Academia Lliure", and "L' Escola de Bellas Arts" in this city. He was a pupil of Isidre Nonell (1907-1908), and worked as a designer ceramist at the Cocurny Studios in Barcelona. In the 1920âs went to Madrid and Paris and became interested in impressionism, as well as in cubism. Cézanne influenced his work. Francisco painted oils on canvas with themes based on landscapes, still life, and people. He produced ceramics and collages in figurative post-impressionist styles as well as abstractionism.

In Spain the artist was a member of the art groups âNou Ambientâ, âEls Evolucionistesâ, GAI Group (Group of independent Artists.) Camps went to France in 1937, and established his residence in Mexico in 1939, where he was a professor at the "Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas" (National School of Fine Arts), in Mexico City, which gave him the opportunity to help form several generations of Mexican artists. He wrote several works related to the Mexican art history, which was one of his passions.

Since his first exhibit at the Workers Athenaeum in 1915 in Barcelona, his work was included in hundreds of individual as well as collective exhibits, for example, âNou Ambientâ, Dalmau Galleries, Layetanes Galleries, âSala Parésâ (Margall), El Camarin Galleries, âSala Nonellâ, in Barcelona, Spain; the Catalonian Center of New York, Muirhead Galleries, Costa Mesa, Heller Gallery, San Francisco, in the USA; the Spanish-Mexican Cultural Institute, Israeli Center, Fine Arts Palace, Museum of Modern Art, in Mexico City; âClub de Franceâ, Paris, and the University of Toronto, Canada, just to mention some. Campâs works are displayed in several public places including the âCiudadela" Museum in Barcelona, Spain, and in the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City.

In 1978 Camps-Ribera returned to Barcelona. On the occasion of his 90 the birthday he received several honors in Spain and in Mexico; his work was included in several exhibits, as well as in the gallery of the âCaixa de Barcelona.â
