English holiday camps in Lyon during school breaks

Junior Academy holiday camps welcome children aged 3 to 9 Monday through Friday during every school break (October, Christmas, February, spring, summer). They are one of the few English-speaking holiday programmes in southern Lyon, with a mostly English-speaking team and a Montessori-inspired approach.

Each week follows a single theme — science, animals, world discovery, seasons, arts — carried through varied activities: creative workshops, outings, cooking, sport, cooperative games. English is the natural language of the camp — no formal lessons — children live it through play.

Camps are open to all children in the Lyon area, whether beginners or already comfortable with English. They are a good fit for families looking for a bilingual summer camp in Lyon, or an alternative to traditional holiday programmes during shorter breaks.
