I concur with another poster about Concordia Village.

We send our kids to Concordia language villages every summer. They LOVE it!

I am pretty certain St. Albans' summer school offers French. Good luck!

Alliance Francaise maybe? If they don't have the level she needs they can recommend a tutor
Or she can take online classes via skype

If you don't want to send her to France, look at Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota. Four weeks of immersion can give a year of high school credit.

Middlebury runs a summer program at NCS.

Also, to get her vocab up, make it a rule than whenever she is watching a movie or tv show, she has to out French subtitles on and read them while watching. I do that and I think it helps keep me language up.

Can you afford an immersion course abroad? Send her to a program in France where she lives with a family and studies French three to four hours a day. Real classes five days a week, not just traveling to see the louvre. Then have her start in the fall at the same level she would have started without the summer school.

I did this and it helped a lot.
