Collège du Léman Summer Camp — Versoix, Switzerland

The camp programme is organised in two-week sessions. In each session a camper chooses four activities in total: one morning activity and one afternoon activity for each of the two weeks. Options are grouped as academic, sport, art, leadership and recreational, so a camper can build a week around one interest or mix several. Morning activities run Monday to Friday; afternoon activities run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with the whole camp joining a pool party on Wednesday afternoon. Sessions can be combined into longer stays.

Campers can join as boarders or as day campers. The boarding package covers accommodation on campus, full board, the chosen activities, evening programmes, weekend activities and excursions, and airport pick-up and drop-off. The day package covers the daytime programme with lunch. A small number of afternoon activities are offered as premium options at an additional weekly cost, chosen at registration.

Boarding campers live on the school campus in Versoix, in separate boarding villas for girls and for boys, supervised around the clock by Collège du Léman boarding staff. Campers who would like to share with a friend can ask the camp to arrange it. Day campers are not accommodated on campus.

Boarding campers receive breakfast, lunch and dinner on campus for the whole stay. Day campers are served lunch in the middle of the day as part of the day programme.

More than twenty-six activities are offered across academics, sport, art, leadership and fun, and campers pick their own. Sport and watersports on Lake Geneva sit alongside creative studios and workshops. Boarders also have an evening programme after dinner, grouped by age, that has included bowling, laser game, outdoor games, a campus disco, capoeira and circus shows and team challenges. Weekends bring karting, an aquapark, sports tournaments, nature parks and shopping, together with visits such as a cheese dairy in Gruyere, a chocolate factory, a watchmaking museum, a Swiss city and the mountains.

The camp uses the Collège du Léman campus on the shore of Lake Geneva, a short distance from Geneva. The campus has an indoor sports hall, swimming facilities used for camp pool sessions, and on-site residences where boarding campers stay.

The camp suits children and teenagers from eight to eighteen who want a Swiss summer built around their own choices rather than a fixed timetable. A camper can spend mornings on an academic or creative workshop and afternoons on the lake, meet peers from many countries, and finish the day with an evening programme on campus. Boarders travel out at weekends to see Switzerland; day campers go home each afternoon. Supervision is continuous for boarders and the camp is run by the school's own staff on its own campus.
