Summer Camp Supervisors and Counselors

WORLD CAMP

Join a dynamic and multicultural team this summer at World Camp! Run by experienced teachers and instructors at the Lycée Français de Chicago, our camps offer daily opportunities for fun and learning all summer long. Children from over 100 local and international schools meet to form new friendships and learn from each other and from our team of talented teachers.

We offer language immersion day camps in French, but also in Arabic, Italian, German, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Tagalog thanks to partnerships with great local schools and organizations recognized for their expertise. These partnerships bring energy to our camps, help create new friendships and make World Camp a truly international experience.

To build bridges between campers, languages and cultures, full camp events are organized every week, such as Tuesday field trips, Fridays at the beach with BBQ, and an end of camp celebration is organized at the end of each session allowing students to showcase their camp accomplishments.
