More about this camp

Aiglon Summer Camp is operated by Aiglon College on its own campus at Chesières, in the Vaud Alps of Switzerland. It is a residential camp for students aged 8 to 16, drawing an international intake. Programme and activities. The timetable is deliberately split. Mornings are academic, with subjects including Interactive English, Interactive French, Art Explorer and Science & Robotics — enrichment sessions rather than exam preparation. Afternoons move to activities, including sports and outdoor pursuits that make use of the alpine location. The balance means the camp sits between a pure language course and an adventure programme rather than committing fully to either. Accommodation and supervision. Students are accommodated in Aiglon College's boarding houses. Each house is staffed by experienced houseparents who provide guidance and support for the duration of the camp. Because the college operates as a boarding school year-round, the residential infrastructure is permanent rather than assembled for the summer. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 8 to 16 — a wide band that spans primary and secondary ages, so families should ask how groups are divided in practice. Summer arrival dates fall in the second half of July; the sessions currently open are listed on this page and should be confirmed with the college before flights are booked. Location and travel. Chesières sits above the Rhône valley in the canton of Vaud, near Villars-sur-Ollon, in the Swiss Alps. Geneva is the usual arrival airport. Transfer arrangements are not published as part of the standard package and should be confirmed directly with Aiglon. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families who want a mountain summer with structure — the academic mornings distinguish it from purely recreational alpine camps — and those interested in a Swiss international boarding environment without committing to a full school year. The 8 to 16 range means it can accommodate siblings of different ages, though parents of younger children should ask specifically about grouping and supervision ratios, which are not published.
