Interview of the international Summer Camp Director
Three words to define the Summer Camp.
Happy students: all our students are satisfied and happy. Some are shy at first due to being in an environment and country far from home, but after two weeks or more, they all leave with smiles on their faces. All of them make significant progress in their language skills and make lots of international friends. They have memories in their heads and have had some exciting activities. Our greatest joy is that they come back every year for 2 or 3 more seasons, proof of our guarantee of excellence, quality, and friendliness. Some participants even recommend their siblings in subsequent years!
Switzerland: a small country within Europe, everyone knows Switzerland for its quality of life, very high standard of living, excellent health care system, its lakes and mountains, its delicious chocolates and its pretty towns of human size in an enjoyable, stable and secure environment. The air of the Swiss Alps or Lake Geneva’s atmosphere contributes to give our camp a healthy, ideal, international, and safe environment to spend your summer vacations.
International Camp: it is a beautiful experience to be in the heart of Europe, easily accessible by train or plane from Geneva, on the shores of Lake Geneva, in the Olympic city of Lausanne and meet Americans, Swedish, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Canadian, Mexican, Russian, Kazakh, Armenian, Dutch, Iranian, Arab, Belgian, Monegasque, Monegasque and Swiss, etc.
