Day Camp — half day with lunch (08:45–13:45)
Chantemerle's summer camp fills a Swiss boarding-school campus on the hillside above Blonay, overlooking Lake Geneva between Vevey and Montreux. The school takes a maximum of sixty-five students, which is the point of it: the camp is small, family-run and personal rather than a large international operation. Mornings are for learning — small-group language classes, school revision and personal-development workshops. Afternoons are for sport and alpine adventure, evenings for games and camp social life, and the week includes excursions around the Lake Geneva region. The camp takes children and teenagers from six to sixteen, split into a Junior and a Teen group, and runs as a residential stay of one to five weeks or as a day camp for families already in the area. Stays start on a Sunday for residential campers and on a Monday for day campers, and the campus — classrooms, bedrooms, dining room and grounds — is the same for all of them.

About the Course
Mornings (09:15–13:15): small-group language classes and personal-development workshops with experienced teachers. Afternoons (14:30–18:30): sports, discovery and outdoor adventure. Evenings (20:30–22:00): games, workshops and social events, lights out at 22:00 depending on age. Formats: residential (one to five weeks), full-day camp (08:45–21:45, ending after the evening meal and the evening activity) or half day (08:45–13:45, academics and lunch).
What’s Included
Three formats share one campus. The residential stay is all-inclusive: accommodation, all meals, the academic mornings, the afternoon and evening programme, every excursion, the two-day trip to Europa-Park and airport transfers inside the school daytime window. The full-day camp covers the academic morning, lunch and the evening meal, the excursions and the whole activity programme, without an overnight stay. The half-day format covers the academic morning and lunch only. Charged separately and listed under extras: medical insurance, the sport academies, and — for day campers — the Europa-Park trip and airport transfers. A non-refundable down payment holds the place, and the balance falls due thirty days before the start.
Accommodation
Residential campers board on the Chantemerle school campus above Blonay, overlooking Lake Geneva. Room configurations vary — confirm when booking.
Meal Plan
Residential: full board. Day camp: lunch and evening meal included. Half-day: lunch included.
Activities & Excursions
Sport and outdoor adventure every afternoon, plus excursions across the Lake Geneva region and the Alps, and an evening programme of games, workshops and social events. Instead of the standard afternoon, a camper can take a specialist sport academy — football, basketball, rugby, half-day tennis or horse riding, or the full-day tennis and golf option. The academies are charged per five-day week and listed under extras.
Facilities
A boarding-school campus on the Swiss Riviera hillside between Vevey and Montreux, in an exceptional natural setting with quick access to the lake and Alps.
Camp Experience
A family-scale Swiss school that takes sixty-five students at most, run by the same family since it was founded and working to the rhythm of a year-round Swiss boarding school. Campers are six to sixteen, split into a Junior and a Teen group, and the small size is the reason staff know every child by name.

Smooth arrival and fewer surprises.
Return airport transfer for day campers. Residential campers have arrival and departure transfers inside their fee within the school daytime window, so the supplement does not apply to them.
Supplement for the trip to Europa-Park in Germany for day campers. Residential campers already have this excursion inside their fee, so the supplement does not apply to them.

École Chantemerle (Swiss Camps)
Chantemerle International Summer Camp is held on the campus of an established Swiss boarding school in Blonay. Founded in 1966, Chantemerle offers children and teenagers aged 6–16 a structured residential experience combining education, adventure and international friendships. Each day balances small-group language and personal-development classes with sports, outdoor adventures and creative workshops. Campers can enjoy kayaking, sailing, climbing, archery, tennis, team sports, aquapark visits, cooking, arts and crafts, dance and 3D printing. Specialist academies in football, basketball, ice hockey, tennis, golf and horse riding may also be available. More than a traditional activity camp, Chantemerle introduces children to the rhythm of boarding-school life within a supportive international community. The programme encourages independence, confidence, healthy routines and perseverance while giving campers the opportunity to discover Switzerland, develop new interests and build lasting friendships.
