Language & activities · Languages

Préfleuri organises its summer programme around age bands — 3 to 4, 5 to 7, 8 to 9, 10 to 11 and 12 to 14 — so that every child takes part in sport and recreation alongside others at the same stage of confidence and ability. The school's holistic approach pairs language learning in English and French with a varied programme of sport and outdoor activity, so a day moves naturally from lessons into the mountains and back to the chalet. Groups are deliberately reopened at certain points in the day: brothers, sisters and friends from other age bands come together for meals, for some of the outings and for the evening animations. Evenings are led by the Préfleuri educators and animators, with themed nights that help new friendships settle in among children arriving from all over the world. With more than 75 years of welcoming children to Chesières – Villars-sur-Ollon, the camp keeps a deliberately family-style atmosphere rather than a large-scale institutional one.

Aliki's mum

Dear Valérie, Guillaume and Silvia , Please accept my warm congratulations for the efficiency and professionalism you run Prefleuri. As this was our first time sending Aliki to a camp we were really impressed by the stories she gave us, from the way the meals were run as well as all the activities

Safety & Supervision

Children grouped by age for all activities

Housemothers responsible for daily care and wellbeing

Small groups supervised by experienced professional instructors

Staggered bedtimes according to age

Préfleuri is run as a small, family-style chalet community, and supervision is built into every part of the day rather than added on top of it. Attentive housemothers look after the children's daily care and wellbeing, and bedtime is a settled, affectionate moment with lights out staggered according to age. Activities are always taken in small age-based groups led by experienced professionals, and the school is explicit that respecting safety instructions matters both for each child and for everyone else in the group. Between activities and dinner there is a calm window at the chalet for showers, writing home and quiet games, so the day always comes back to the same familiar adults and routines.
