Location: Altitude Camps Verbier provides summer camps to junior students from the beautiful and scenic town of Verbier, Switzerland. The profound nature of the location allows for multiple outdoor activities to be a big part of these summer camps. Verbier is 1 hour 45 minutes from Geneva airport and 1 hour from the beautiful Swiss Riviera, Montreux.
Course selection: These summer programmes are available to students from 3-14 years. The Marmot Camps are day camps reserved for students aged 3 to 5 years. The Day Camps or Residential experiences are for students aged 6 to 14 years. Programmes are available in French and English. All courses include a quality activity and lesson plan, which engages students in the language they are learning, plus allows them to enjoy the beautiful location of Verbier, Switzerland. Activities included in the programmes can include museum visits, scavenger hunts, fire-building, baking, Mini-Olympics, mountain hiking, swimming, yoga, hockey and much more! These camps really are packed with fun and games for junior students to enjoy throughout.
Accommodation: The accommodation for the immersive summer programmes can be homestay within a local family or on-site camp accommodation with other students on the programme. The residential accommodation is generally 2-4 boys or girls per room, with each room having its own private bathroom. The residence has 24-hour security, and students are always welcome to speak with the in-house staff and camp counsellors whenever they wish.
