Combine your favourite sport with an exciting language learning experience. For young athletes who want to practise their sport intensively, Chantemerle partners with professional academies to offer training in football, basketball, hockey, tennis, golf and horse riding.
Participants usually combine one week of sport academy with one or several weeks of Chantemerle’s general summer programme so they can enjoy Chantemerle’s full learning and activity experience.
