Participating in a golf camp and improving your French (or English for French students) is possible at ISP Golf Academy!
1.5 hours of language class per day with our teachers and making friends will allow you to improve your French during your golf camp.
Camps at ISP Golf Academy allow students to push their physical limits while improving technically, tactically, and mentally.
Our camps run all year long (for groups and on request for competition players) and during summer holidays (for everyone, starting from 8 years old for non-boarders and 10 years old for boarders, to 18 years old and over for adults) and include varied golf practices, adapted to golf physical conditioning sessions, official tournaments and intensive language classes.
