This year we invite your family to learn games that have entertained French speaking kids big and young for centuries.  At Lac du bois you will revisit games that cross cultures. Yes this is all fun and games - Mais en FRANÇAIS.

Each member of your family will choose a French name for the weekend and focus on French language development, enjoy activities, and have free time to spend together. Comfortable lodging and delicious homemade Francophone cuisine are part of our trademark full-immersion setting. Invite grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles for an unforgettable family reunion!

The French family weekend is located at Skogfjorden, the Norwegian Language Village near Bemidji, Minn. The French Language Village is in use by a charter school during the school year.
