Review about Alpadia Zug Language school
A wonderful camp for children and parents who are looking for something not in big cities, want to see nature and relax in beautiful places. Frankly speaking, we had never heard of such a city before, but we considered Switzerland as a rich and beautiful country - and then Smapse managers told us about the Alpadia network, and according to the description-photos most liked this department. We have taken an English course, but German is even more popular here, because this part of the country is more German-speaking.
We have twin boys of 15 years: we were worried at this age that it would be difficult to make children interested in something. But they liked it: firstly, they have never been in Switzerland before. Secondly, the administration very carefully develops a plan, which the children will do after classes. The training course is good, but the boys said that nothing outstanding, standard - on the other hand, we did not directly learn the language from scratch, so it's okay. There were many lessons in the open air (not to mention sports training, games and evening activities): the climate is mild, the children were fed with the sun. The atmosphere itself, as we understood, can be called more calm and relaxed: there is no compulsory activities. Children are offered options for what to do, and then they choose. We have this option very suitable, but if you are looking for something more active - you should probably choose the American options, heard about their activity.
