Camp Suisse builds its programme around age, so every child lands in a group that matches where they are: the Red and Blue Groups for 7-11 year olds, the Green Group for roughly 12-14 year olds, and the Yellow Group for 15-17 year olds, each with its own supervision levels and age-appropriate activities. Younger campers and the Green Group follow a set programme of activities, sports and excursions, with each session planned in advance so it can be tailored to individual children, letting confident campers push on while less experienced ones are nurtured along. Green Group teenagers stay with the same 8-10 companions for the whole of their camp, which gives them a settled group of friends from around the world and a lighter, more discreet style of supervision. Yellow Group campers keep much of the fixed Camp Suisse programme but choose certain sessions themselves from the adventure and sports range, and are encouraged to take on more personal responsibility and act as role models for the rest of camp. Across every two-week session the rhythm is anchored by a guarantee of five full-day excursions to some of Switzerland's most striking places plus a minimum of 18 hours of intensive language lessons, with group leaders accompanying their group at all times, including meals and activities.

Isabella loves the camp so much. She said the experience at the camp is unforgettable. She had so much fun at the camp. Looking at the pictures, we can feel her happiness from her heart. As parents we can’t thank you enough. It’s first time for Isabella leaving us for a long time. It’s also a very good experience for us. All our concerns and requests were well taken care of. Thank you again for everything you and your staff have done for us.

I would like to thank you all for the wonderful time my son Luca had at Camp Suisse. He enjoyed the exciting activities and excursions very much, met new friends and talked all day in English. Everything went perfectly. Camp Suisse is a safe and extremely well-organized place; the staff are supportive and caring. We felt always very relaxed!

Dear Julie, Dear Richard, Dear Team Camp Suisse, Another session has come to an end and the children have left you with heavy hearts and Many Many fond memories. This experience, as the ones before, has been so pleasant and problem free. The children love the camp, it is becoming their “summer home”. We have an amazing feeling of security and ease knowing our children are with you. We can’t thank you enough. Both the children and ourselves always speak fondly of you to everyone sharing our experiences. Maya was telling me how you have a “ski camp” and I told her that unfortunately the timing does not coincide with their school holiday (21st to 28thFebruary) if it ever does we would be the first to register. We look forward to sending the children again next year. Many thanks again. Please give our appreciation, gratefulness and war regards to each and every member of the team. All the best with the remainder of the summer.
