A wonderful summer camp for any child and teenager - they have already traveled twice (daughters 10 and 14 years old). A very well-developed program: parents can receive a daily schedule by e-mail and discuss with the administration what the children will do. Education is completely stress-free: it seems that after lunch the children have already forgotten that in the morning they were sitting in class - however, there is progress in English due to immersion and language environment. The camp is located in an incredibly beautiful place, a real mountain fairy tale: this is how you imagine Switzerland in advertising brochures, so it is here! It is good that there are a lot of foreign guys. You can get to know the whole world like this. Very good conditions for living - almost a five-star hotel (and the European "five"), a variety of food in the canteens, barbecues, picnics, trips to urban restaurants.
Read in fullEverything was great; Katya came back thrilled. She only arrived in Moscow yesterday after spending another week in Switzerland. I would like to specifically mention that the German lessons were very well organized. They were purposely taken to a school, and the classes were held in actual classrooms. The small group size was also a plus. As I understood, other languages were just an addition to the other entertainment. Therefore, I can confidently recommend the camp for German lessons, despite being in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. I would also like to note: children need to arrange special insurance that covers active sports, similar to skiing. Activities such as water jumps, paragliding, Tarzan swings, surfing, etc., are not covered by regular insurance. There were many specifically sports-oriented activities. Children from other countries, with regular insurance, skipped some activities. Well, ours, of course, didn't worry about these "details."
Read in fullOur daughter went abroad for the first time, so we didn't have specific expectations. Our primary goal was for her to immerse herself in an English-speaking environment to instill a love for a foreign language. It was pleasing to know that Sofia enjoyed the program, with the hiking and horseback riding activities being the most memorable for her. Regarding the meals, we didn't have specific requests, but I can note that there was a variety to choose from at the buffet, allowing every child to select what they liked. Thanks for this recommendation! I hope to combine studying in winter and attend the winter session to celebrate New Year in Switzerland.
