Lemania International Summer Camp - Day Camp, Lausanne

Classes run Monday to Friday mornings and total 16.5 hours a week. Students choose intensive French, English or German, taught by native or bilingual teachers in small classes at levels A1 to C1, or one of the two science tracks: the Fun Science Program, built on hands-on laboratory experiments and practical projects, and the Science Preparation Program, which covers physics, mathematics and chemistry as preparation for the Swiss Matura, the French Baccalaureate, university studies and EPFL. Both science programmes are taught in English. A language course may be combined with either science programme within the same weekly tuition.

The day package covers tuition and lunch from Monday to Friday. The afternoon activity and excursion programme and the evening activity with dinner are sold separately by the week; accident and health insurance is included for day students who take the activities.

This is a day camp: students live at home or with their own arrangements in Lausanne and come to the school for classes. Ecole Lemania also sells the same summer school with full board in its boarding house as a separate residential programme.

Lunch is included every weekday. Meals are served at table in the school dining room and the menus carry the Swiss 'Fourchette Verte' balanced-nutrition label. Day students who take the evening option have dinner at the school as well.

Afternoon activities and excursions are optional for day students and are renewed every week. Water sports on Lake Geneva include wakeboarding, wakesurfing, sailing and stand-up paddle; adventure activities include mountain hiking, karting, canyoning, horse riding, high-ropes courses, archery, paintball, bubble football, laser game, escape games, ice rink and hockey, and golf. Cultural outings go to the United Nations in Geneva, Chateau de Chillon, the Olympic Museum, the Cailler and Lindt chocolate factories, the Chaplin Museum, the Patek Philippe Museum and watchmaking quarter, and nearby towns such as Annecy, Evian, Interlaken and Geneva. Evening activities are supervised and run into the late evening.

The camp uses Ecole Lemania's own campus at Chemin de Preville in central Lausanne, a short distance from Lake Geneva: classrooms, the school dining room and unlimited Wi-Fi.

Day students arrive for morning classes, which run from nine until half past twelve, and stay for lunch. Those who take the afternoon option continue with activities and excursions until the early evening; those who also take the evening option stay for dinner and a supervised evening activity. Supervision by the school team covers classes, transport and activities, and the school administration keeps students' pocket money safe during outings.
