Camps

Program Format and Duration

Ermitage International School’s summer programs welcome participants aged 10 to 16, with parents choosing between full boarding and day formats. Duration ranges from one to three weeks, allowing families to adapt the schedule to their plans. Each day revolves around language, sports, and cultural activities—a structure that eliminates idle time and immerses children in an environment where French traditions blend with an international atmosphere.

Equestrian and Multi-Sport Activities

The school offers two main programs. The equestrian camp accommodates any skill level, from first encounters with horses to refining advanced techniques, while Maisons-Laffitte itself is known for stables on every street. The multi-sport track includes rock climbing, laser tag, karting, and team games that rotate weekly, so teens can try different disciplines without committing to a single sport.

Language Learning and Parisian Routes

Mornings are devoted to French or English through interactive formats and culinary workshops, with students practicing speech at markets, museums, and during excursions. The cultural program covers the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Opéra Garnier, Montmartre, and Versailles—routes designed so children grasp the context of French history rather than simply ticking off a tourist checklist.

Ermitage International School’s Unique Location

Ermitage International School sits in Maisons-Laffitte, a town twenty minutes from the capital that’s called the “city of horses” due to its equestrian heritage. Provincial French atmosphere persists here with historic buildings, and children stay in centuries-old boarding houses where comfort meets the spirit of classical European education. Paris proximity grants access to cultural life, yet the town itself remains a peaceful setting.
