At the end of your time in camp, you’ll receive a certficate at our graduation ceremony whilst being cheered on by your new friends. All this makes for a summer to remember.

At Swiss Language Camp you have the possibility to choose one language per week. We offer English, French and German courses. Should you decide to stay several weeks, feel free to change your langauge course.

Note that, although our staff speak numerous languages, English tends to be the day to day language at the camp.

Language classes take place in the mornings, Monday to Friday, in the form of four 45-minute lessons, for a total of 20 lessons per week. Our team of qualified and experienced teachers provide engaging and intriguing lessons. The small number of students in each class (average 12) ensures that each learner gets the necessary care and attention needed to progress. Each study week will be themed around a topic with students focusing on various areas of language acquisition and immersive learning.

During the application process you will need to let us know your current level in the language you have chosen, then upon arrival at camp you will take a short speaking assessment. With your teacher’s agreement, you can change your level group within the first two days of class. We welcome all students, from beginner to advanced speaker.

Teachers are encouraged to use flexible and diverse teaching methods and techniques. Classes will be fun and engaging whilst ensuring students are learning and progressing in their studies. The lessons are based around language acquisition and immersive learning, meaning students will acquire specific language skills and then be given the chance to use them in real life situations. Our curriculum focuses on a range of topics and uses predominantly speaking, listening and reading. Each morning of classes ends with a project hour that allows students to collaborate across levels and even languages. The result of the project hour each week will be presented by students on Friday and serves as a reminder and evidence of the progress made each week.

Evenings at camp are a great opportunity to relax, spend time with your new friends and maybe even try out some of your new language skills. Activities may include casino night, talent show, sports and games, movie nights and karaoke. We encourage all students to take part in the evening activities as they are a great way to socialise and create a sense of community within the camp.

On Friday, the evening opens with a graduation ceremony with the presentation of certificates, followed by a disco in our own on site club.
