Eurocamp kids club in French?

Wondering if anyone has experience of sending their DC to a kids club at Eurocamp where the club is conducted in French and the child only speaks English?

Booking for a summer holiday and we've found a nice campsite, but the details for the kids club show "Languages spoken: French".

For context, DC will be 5. She'd be with one other friend who also only speaks English, plus two who are bilingual (all similar ages).

NB I wouldn't leave the campsite while she was at the club, but I'd really like some down time to laze around and read my book!

Thanks!

I'd bet your bottom dollar that the young people running the children's activities will have a reasonable level of English. We've hosted teenagers from all over Europe who come here to English summer school. They all speak very good English.

From my memory of attending kids clubs, they tend to be very activity based, so not a huge amount of talking needed, and having bilingual friends there will be helpful for any instructions. It's also a great way for her to start learning French - 2 weeks in a country being immersed in the language used to be said to be equivalent to a year of classroom based learning!
