ONE OF EUROPE’S BEST SUMMER CAMPS IN FRANCE:
CREATIVITY, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, FUN & ADVENTURE
Learn with artistic masterminds and well-known entrepreneurs
The programme is offered by our diverse team of senior trainers and industry professionals, from award-winning photographers to well-established filmmakers and contemporary artists and storytellers as well as visiting experts. They have both the passion for and experience working with students from around the world and are eager to share their knowledge and expertise with you.
A Summer Art Programme for Everyone in the French Riviera
The camp offers you the opportunity to explore and develop your talents in fun and creative ways and is designed for students who want to explore a wide range of experiences, for those eager to delve deeply into a particular creative skillset or for students with an entrepreneurial or artistic spirit. At the same time, this is also the perfect experience for students with no creative, artistic or entrepreneurial experience but seeking to discover their talents and potential in the Cannes and Nice area.
A UNIQUE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Explore – Create – Realise – Share
Throughout the residential summer camp, students explore the journey from generating an idea, putting it into action, understanding how it can contribute to their environment and sharing it with others in effective, authentic and powerful ways.
The creative camp follows a pioneering concept which offers students the opportunity to sample many different experiences, gain new ideas, skills and insights and discover themselves, but also delve deeply in a specific area of their interest, thereby providing both breadth and depth. As such, students experiment with visual and performing arts, media training, storytelling, filmmaking, photography, entrepreneurship and amazing outdoor camp activities; at the same time, they create their own project during the camp, which lends the possibility of focusing in-depth in a specific area of their choice. Students get tailored guidance and personalised feedback from our caring and expert team, which helps them grow as individuals, improve their skills and optimise their camp project, which can later serve as an important element in their portfolio or university applications.
All this amounts to a unique experience that is very fun, meaningful and truly memorable.

We invest in our daughter a lot by spending time with her, providing her with different experiences, giving directions and raising her to become a healthy and stable individual. Still, every summer when she gets back from SILC camps, we see an additional huge change! She comes back home inspired, conscientious, more ambitious, and more noble as a human being. We really think that SILC camps are the single most important “investment” into our daughter’s future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Farik, Parent of Elena, Croatia
I can use the skills I learned here in my life after because we learned a lot of important things like branding, like storytelling that will be so useful after, as well for interviewing. We interviewed a CEO so now we know how to interview, how to respond. And in the set of mind and the way of thinking, and just taking ideas out of my head, now the new perspective that I have has just helped me a lot and I think it will be like game changing for my life later. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Monique, United States
I've been to multiple camps of SILC, but the SILC Creative & Entrepreneurial Summer Camp is really different. We learn about website building, photography, painting, and more. I think this camp is really special because it really focuses on you as you can choose what you learn and what you want to go deeper into. I think one of the key things that I am going to take away from this camp is working together with different people from different cultures. The camp is really international and open environment and I loved it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Phillipe, Zürich, Switzerland
I think that the friendships and the people I've met here, have been the best. Everyone is just so supportive and kind to each other no matter what. At the camp here, I learned so many new attitudes and mindsets to have on certain things. For example, trying new things and just try to motivate myself for different ways. So I think it would really help me back home to have the same routine. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Antonella, Italy
Everyday is an adventure because everything is different and exceptional. I feel brave, I feel confident, and I feel like I can do so much more that I couldn't do before. The camp was just so exciting and taught me to so many creative and entrepreneurial skills that I can use in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mariam, Lebanon
This entire camp is a family. I definitely want to say I've grown a lot. It has helped me look at people from a different perspective, and also make sure I can incorporate their best aspects into my drawing, which is visual. It's been a really good learning experience for me. I'm very thankful for my opportunity to come and enjoy the entrepreneurial and creative camp offered by SILC, and it's been a really great experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amari, France
SILC has truly been a fantastic experience for our son! We're so grateful for all the amazing memories he's made there. SILC has hands down the best summer camps around in France, and Mathieu has loved every minute of it. A big thank you for making it all possible! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Typical day at camp
Mornings
Students wake up in their comfortable and modern ensuite bedroom shared with one other student, before enjoying a healthy and tasty breakfast prepared by our excellent in-house chef. The mornings will either find us on-campus immersed in a creative activity, our personal camp projects and interactive entrepreneurship workshops, or taking advantage of the cooler temperatures to explore the area through rock climbing, mountain biking or hiking before heading back for lunch.
Afternoons
From a workshop on storytelling in the coolness of our mansion or conducting an interview in the garden, to relaxing outdoor activities like snorkelling, horse riding, waterskiing and a high-ropes course, every day offers a balanced, memorable and truly unique experience.
Exploring the Riviera
In addition to the daily creative, entrepreneurial and outdoor activities, we also explore the rich cultural heritage and stunning nature of the Riviera, through fun excursions to Gourdon, Nice and Grasse and short expeditions in the area, such as snorkelling, mountain biking and horseback riding.
Idyllic evenings
In the evenings we enjoy a more relaxing programme with a barbecue or karaoke in the garden, swimming or developing our projects. On other occasions we have a more active programme with fun social activities like golf, laser game or go karting.
