French Residential Family Programs | All Ages
Concordia Language Villages will require all participants eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to be fully vaccinated prior to arrival at a residential session, effective September 1, 2021. Read our vaccine FAQ for more information.

Residential family programs are great preparation for a family trip abroad or for a child's summer experience at the Villages. Explore family heritage or learn about an entirely new culture! The best part is simply being together in a beautiful setting where you can reinforce the importance of being a good citizen in our global community.
Immersed in beautiful surroundings, French food and French-language conversation, both children and adults absorb lessons about the larger world and the value of learning a language.
Family programs allow grandparents, parents, children, aunts, uncles and cousins the opportunity to explore the French language and the cultures of the French-speaking world and to share experiences and build memories that will last a lifetime. While the programs are tailored to the ages of the people attending, family program participants still enjoy the same authentic menus and many of the same fun-filled immersion experiences as the summer youth Village programs.
