Summer Camps
Summer Camp on the McGill University Campus, Montreal (Ages 13-17)
About the program
A summer camp on the McGill University campus in downtown Montreal. Students choose English or French, live in residence with full board and discover Montreal and Quebec. This is a camp program, not admission to McGill.
Montreal is one of the most culturally rich cities in North America, where European charm meets modern Canadian energy. It is famous for its festivals, cafés and historic architecture. Students can study English, French or both, and live in residence halls used by McGill students during the academic year. Interactive classes, cultural workshops and weekend excursions around Quebec complete the program.
