Language Classes
We adopt the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages as a basis for our language programme and therefore our courses range from Beginner (A1)up to advanced (C1). A camper’s level in their chosen language is determined through a variety of carefully planned, informal, written and oral tests conducted on the first morning of camp. Classes are usually no bigger than ten students. The small number of students in a class allows the teacher to create a close relationship with each student, thus enabling the teacher to identify the students’ strengths and weaknesses in the language.
The Language Programme
Our standard language programmes include 18 hours per two-week session or 9 hours per one-week session of foreign language tuition.
For those looking for a more intensive language experience, private tuition as well as additional language workshops are available focusing on GCSE, IGCSE, A Level and IB curricula. Contact us for more details.
At the end of each camp session students are presented with an Award Certificate showing their level of language in relation to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
French Intensive Programme
Our French intensive programme focuses on rapidly improving campers’ French language skills through combining formalised language lessons, cultural experiences and real life everyday situations.
Campers undertake their normal daily routines and much of their activity programme in French with our amazing team of French speaking language teachers.
In addition to the standard Camp Suisse programmes, participants on the French Intensive Programme undertake an extra three hours of language tuition per week as well as an additional French cultural excursion, usually to one of the French local markets in Evian-les-Bains or the Abondance valley

“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!”
