Why Learn French?Learning French connects you to

over 200 million people and their cultures in over 50 countries around the world. It is an official language

of many international organizations including the U.N., Intl. Red Cross, and

Intl. Olympic Committee. French is a language of art, culture, philosophy,

human rights, and business around the world.

CounselorsCounselors come from across the U.S. and the French-speaking world and contribute to the repertoire of activities and cultural experiences for villagers. For example, a West-African counselor may tell a traditional fable to his or her cabin, or a French counselor may teach their language group to make a special cake. And all of our U.S. American counselors also have a range of international/intercultural experiences to draw from and share.

Village Locations

Concordia Language Villages offers three French Language Villages. Lac du Bois – Bemidji (an architecturally authentic site) and Les Voyageurs (an outdoor adventure camp) are on Turtle River Lake near Bemidji, Minnesota. Lac du Bois – Hackensack offers a classic camp experience right next door to the beautiful Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota.

Every day is like a new adventure abroad

Participants become "villagers" and live in the language and culture from the moment they wake up to the close of the day.
