Gaetan Oyon doesn't speak much English, but he understands the joy of playing with a nylon parachute. The 6-year-old from Cossonay, Switzerland, was one of about 100 children who attended a two-week session of Stanford's annual summer camp. A French speaker whose father, Daniel, is a visiting scholar at the Business School, Gaetan was able to communicate with the four camp counselors all Stanford athletes who happened to speak French. Magnifique.
