La Ferme Limbort
8 days, 7 nights
French
2007-2010
Haspengouw is known for its vast fields. This includes large square farms. We are guests of the Limbort family. Their house - the Ferme Limbort - is one like in the books: comfortable and cozy in a rustic setting. The rooms in the former hayloft and the sanitary facilities are very nicely finished. On the ground floor, there are some bedrooms accessible to less mobile participants.
On the farm, CLIP cooks for himself.
We can talk about delicious dishes here to lick thumbs and fingers. We start the day with a sumptuous breakfast buffet
The midday meal is a varied buffet formula--with bread and toppings in addition to hot snacks and raw vegetables.
A four-hour snack ensures we have enough energy to carry on until the evening's three-course meal.
In Braives, we assume that each participant has basic knowledge of French to carry on short, easy conversations.... With super fun group-building activities we overcome initial barriers to speaking French.
The positive comments with rewards at the end of the week - both for the group and the individual participant - are an added incentive.
The rural setting in Braives inspires us to adventure entertainment. One night we camp, another night we hold an atmospheric campfire with marshmallows.
This language formula literally gets everyone moving with numerous sporting moments. By the way, did you know that with us, sport and language are regularly combined in one activity? Learning French has never been easier. In short, at Braives a language camp becomes a real language vacation, a boost for the group spirit.
We will explore Namur: visit the citadelle (with cable car), the confluence of Sambre and Meuse, a mural with all the famous Walloons ... you will discover it all! Even more, we will go "SUPPEND" on the Meuse by ourselves.
This language formula literally gets everyone moving with numerous sporting moments. By the way, did you know that with us, sport and language are regularly combined in one activity? Learning French has never been easier. Not only do we dive into the French language, but also into the water at Aqualibi in Wavre! In short, at Braives a language camp becomes a real vacation, a boost for the group spirit.
Eeeennn.... ACTION! Unleash your visual, verbal, aural talents and create a fat beautiful project or artwork together! In Wavre, we'll dive into a youth arts center and get a workshop on graffiti or learn to dub a movie. Imagine getting to voice your favorite superhero ! Combine that with editing footage ... that will be a reel that goes viral, for sure!
At the Ferme Limbort, we create a slay photo shoot that is a lasting memory of this Studio CLIP.
