I had the most amazing time here at Surval. I got to meet new friends and had many opportunities to do activities with an amazing view. It was for sure the best summer.
The past 3 summers were the most adventurous and fun summers of my life. My experience at Surval was like no other and I will truly miss it a lot. The staff have been kind and understanding and they played a major role in our activities and without them we wouldn’t have as much fun!
In three weeks, I made the closest of friends, had the best summer ever, and had a beautiful view of the mountains. The tans will fade, but the memories will last forever.
The summer experience Surval provided for me was an unforgettable one. From meeting new people from all across the globe, to learning new languages and cultures, Surval never failed to make each day a remarkable memory. This was by far the best summer of my life and I can’t wait for yet another summer at this school
Surval Summer Camp was the best experience. It’s internationally friendly and has a lot of girls from other countries sharing their cultural experiences. It is a really great way to gain independence and meet new friends from across the globe… I hope to come back again.
