Programme Overview                       Link: Country Overview

With 30 hours of intense, but enjoyable instruction in each two-week session, campers concentrate on mastering two-way conversations, both speaking and listening. Highly trained and experienced teachers/counsellors oversee this successful and worthwhile all-round camp experience. This unique and highly acclaimed Village Camps' approach to language learning successfully achieves significantly greater progress and final results than in classic language schools.

English Programme

As part of this highly rewarding experience, language campers are encouraged in fun, challenging ways to utilize their English or French throughout the entire day and evening, not only during classes. This ensures better progress and an almost guarantees that children returning home will understand the language better and will have significantly improved their spoken English. Assessment is continuous. An appropriate certificate is awarded at the end of camp and a written report is sent to the parents.

Tennis and Language Camp

This camp combines a practical language experience with the tennis programme, structured so that campers have three hours of language tuition (French or English) in the morning and three hours of tennis instruction (in French or English) in the afternoons.

Campers stay at the Village Camps' Swiss Alpine Centre. The centre has spacious, mainly ensuite bedrooms for 3-4 campers, lounges and play areas as well as excellent dining facilities.
