Lovell Camps Winter Camp

The winter programme is built around a clear, well-supervised daily structure in which professional ski and snowboard instruction on the Gstaad slopes is combined with an enrichment programme back at the Lodge, so children come off the mountain into something purposeful rather than empty afternoons. Campers are grouped by age and ability, which lets first-timers progress at their own pace while stronger skiers and riders move on towards racing and freestyle with the same instructors. Around the snow sports, the week is threaded with swimming, indoor rock climbing, arts and crafts, team sports and games, plus language practice in English, French and German, and evenings bring organised evening programmes with the counsellors. What gives the camp its character is its scale and its family feel: it is a second-generation family business where the directors know the children by name, staff share meals and supervision, and the first concern remains the welfare and happiness of each individual camper. The result is a holiday that feels balanced — real coaching and new skills wrapped in the warmth of a small alpine lodge community.
