Mission

The mission of the Hendrix French Summer Camp is clear: we seek to offer a life-changing cultural and linguistic experience to the leaders of tomorrow.  To achieve that mission, we will focus on the following principles:

  • Encouraging the development of young people into global citizens;
  • Fostering the creation of open-minded communities;
  • Improving cultural fluency and a critical application of that fluency to one’s own culture;
  • Initiating or improving upon language proficiency.
