Holiday Camps

🌸 A Different Kind of Holiday Camp (Ages 4–16)

An abridged explanation for those that don't speak French (Why Antonia set up KidooLand)

At KidooLand, our English-language holiday camps are more than just childcare – they’re a place where children have fun, make friends, and grow in confidence through immersive, hands-on learning.

Designed for children aged 4 to 12 (and a few K'ELITE places for 12-16 years but please call about these), our holiday camps combine language learning, creative workshops, and active play to make the school holidays something everyone looks forward to.

Our camps are led entirely in English and are designed to be inclusive, fun, and inspiring – whether your child is a complete beginner or already bilingual.

✨ What Makes Our Camps Special?
  • ✅ 100% English immersion – language is taught naturally through activities, not grammar drills

  • ✅ Weekly themes – from science and space to arts, nature and global discovery

  • ✅ Creative workshops – including cooking, drama, music, art, STEM and team games

  • ✅ Confidence-building environment – we focus on participation and self-expression

  • ✅ Experienced bilingual staff who are warm, professional, and love working with children

  • ✅ Small group sizes for personal attention and inclusion

  • ✅ All levels welcome – beginners to advanced English speakers

We don't run camps in French ...

 
🧳 Visiting the French Riviera? We're Here for Holidaymakers Too!

If you're planning a family holiday in the South of France and looking for childcare, KidooLand holiday camps are a brilliant solution.

Whether you're staying locally, or grandparents are hosting the kids for part of the summer (hello Parisians!), our camps offer:

  • ☀️ A full day of meaningful activity (9h00–17h00), with a calm and caring team

  • 🧘‍♀️ Free time for you – enjoy the beach, lunch, or a peaceful afternoon while the kids are engaged and having fun

  • 🧒 A mix of local French and international children, especially in summer

  • 🗣️ Language freedom at playtime – while lessons are in English, children are free to speak French or their native language at recess, which makes it a lovely way for visiting children to safely explore French social immersion

 

Pickup at 17h and you're off to the pool, the beach, or dinner as a family the sun is still shining high!

 
🌟 Our Approach

Our camps are designed to be brain-friendly and neuro-inclusive, with activities that support different learning styles and energy levels.

We believe children learn best when they feel safe, seen and free to be themselves. 

 

That’s why every child is encouraged to take part at their own pace, and our team is trained to offer gentle support.

Our goal? That your child leaves with new skills, new words, and a big smile.

We have had many bilingual children join the clubs including Antonia's (our founder) own children. They get to be top of the class and if they speak French official translator for the class too :-)

My son will finish his second week at the Country Club of Kidooland Sophia this week  and I wanted to tell you, it was a fantastic experience ... this is an ideal setting for children of his age. This place is really fabulous, from the inside rooms to all the outdoor sports and games  and also the great welcome from the team.  Leo is really pleased with how thins have gone. He tested out sports he didn't know. He loved  these two weeks so much that he was moaning  when was the weekend because he  couldn't go!!  I hope you have the opportunity to repeat the camps at the Country Club in Sophia, be it for half term or the summer holidays.  Leo will happy to go back .

Lou came for 2 weeks this summer and Theo for 1 week. They had great fun at the Kidooland Sophia Country Club. For example, Lou never wants to go classic holiday camp at school but is really happy to go to Kidooland every summer. As for Theo, initially he didn't want to go because he felt too old  (12.5 years) iand had a great time. Thank you so much Kidooland, especially the leaders who are really great and thank you to Sophia Country Club for welcoming these children, it is 4* place …
