Language camp organized in Antibes-Horticole is not to be advised
This school and the camp organized in Horticole represented low level of quality as it comes to language education system, but above all the camp organization: 1. My 12-year-old daughter was left alone on a beach just because she was chatting with an older group at the time, when the animator and a responsible person for her group left 2. Teenagers, who could leave the camp independently, were informed about the busses returning to the campsite at a certain time. When a few of them arrived it turned out that the animals decided it was too hot to stay on the beach as they planned and changed the busses return time without informing the rest of the group, so wasn't on the beach. They had to take a public transpiration to return to the campsite 3. Even though the rooms are left on Saturday by students returning home, till Sunday 5 pm they were not cleaned and ready to welcome newcomers 4. There were no vegetables throughout the whole camp! Fruit were served only during one meal and the portions were limited (e.g. 2 slices of watermelon or of a pineapple). The food was in general of a low quality. No comparison to a healthy and balanced diet. 5. Everything what was discussed with an administration before the camp turned out not to be conveyed to the camp team, therefore there were multiple discussions onsite to adjust to previously taken agreements 6. There were initial language assessment tests at the beginning of the camp, but there was no checkpoint at the end, proving any progress. 7. General low room standards. Temperature in the top floor rooms exceeded 30 degrees day and night and there was 1 fan provided per room. 8. The crew of animators and teachers changed every week, so there was no continuity, creating often chaos and miscommunication. I could list a few more examples, but in my opinion less important in the overall picture. I can definitely say one thing: my kids were already on language camps in Germany to learn German and from the moment of crossing the entrance door to the camp they represented 300% better quality as this camp. My kids wanted to return and were motivated to learn the language, which is the main point of a Lantus camp. This camp was hectic, unorganized, unplanned, immature. My kids don't want to ever go back. Seems like the organizers charge the money rather for the fact of being located in Antibes, not the education itself. General impression: I don't recommend! My kids won't go there second time
