Activities

French · Languages
The week is built in two halves that suit children differently. Mornings are personalised: each camper chooses a focus and sticks with it, whether that is a basketball, tennis or golf camp with specialist coaches, or fifteen hours a week of English or French lessons in small groups with native-speaking teachers. Afternoons and evenings then belong to the shared programme, where a new experience is scheduled every single day, moving from watersports on Lake Geneva to alpine hikes, cultural visits and team challenges designed to build teamwork and leadership. Evenings keep the group together with sports competitions, karaoke, campfires and barbecues at the Boarding House, so the friendships made during the day continue after dinner. With no more than 30 campers at a time and stays running Sunday to Saturday for one week or several, the atmosphere stays small and family-like, and the whole programme is deliberately framed around personal growth and life skills rather than just filling the day.
Haut-Lac residential camps are absolutely outstanding! A perfect blend of adventure, personal growth, and camaraderie set in a breathtaking alpine environment. The activities are diverse and engaging, the staff is attentive and professional, and the atmosphere fosters lasting friendships. An ideal choice for an unforgettable experience!

Round-the-clock supervision by the boarding house team
Qualified and experienced bilingual staff
Small camp of up to 30 campers with individual attention
Experienced alpine guides for mountain activities
Local professionals leading watersports on Lake Geneva
Campers live inside a working international boarding school, which means the safe, familiar routines of the Haut-Lac Boarding House rather than an improvised summer set-up. The boarding house team provides round-the-clock supervision, and because the camp deliberately stays small, welcoming up to 30 campers at a time, every child is known individually and receives personal attention and care. Staff are qualified, experienced and bilingual, so children can be looked after in English or French, and the more technical parts of the programme are handed to specialists.
Served from 08:00 before the morning programme begins.
lunch
Served at midday between the morning and afternoon activity blocks.
dinner
Served in the early evening, occasionally as a barbecue before the evening programme.
snacks
Snacks and drinks are provided at the Boarding House.
Three balanced meals a day are prepared in-house by the Haut-Lac School caterer, so campers eat the same freshly made food the school serves during term time, with snacks and drinks available between activities. Breakfast is served before the morning programme, lunch back at the house between the morning and afternoon sessions, and dinner in the early evening before the evening programme, which on some nights becomes a barbecue.

Screen time policy
The camp keeps children busy from breakfast through to lights out at 21:00, so screens naturally take a back seat to activities, excursions and evening games. The one connectivity detail Haut-Lac states is that unlimited Wi-Fi is available at the Boarding House, which makes it straightforward for campers to check in with family during free time in the late afternoon and evening. No further device restrictions are published, so parents with specific concerns should confirm the house rules with the boarding team.
