Students can rest here and learn the language from 7 to 16 years: this is not only an effective study, but also a pleasant rest and merry leisure, the opportunity to find friends from all over the world, to plunge into the intercultural and international atmosphere. For many years the camp has been run by the Reponds family: for several generations the family business has focused on organizing a quality and interesting holiday for international children and teenagers.
Junior and Teen Camp is located in the famous Swiss resort of Flims-Laax, in the canton of Graubünden, near the equally famous resorts of Davos and St. Moritz. It is located at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, which provides students with the cleanest, curative, life-giving air. Within walking distance is the center of Flims-Laax, as well as the border of the magnificent alpine forest. In the vicinity there is a large number of lakes: in the summer months the water in them warms up to a comfortable temperature, so that children can swim, go in for swimming and water sports, and spend time on the coast. The road to Zurich will take about an hour and a half.
The school employs qualified, experienced teachers, staff and educators, carefully selected from a variety of applicants, there are separate escorts for meetings and wires at the airport. The ratio of teachers to students is 1: 4; 24-hour nurses are on duty, and the safety of pupils is completely monitored 24/7.
Students can apply with any level of knowledge - from beginners to experienced, knowledgeable students. Classes are conducted on weekdays (from Monday to Friday) for 2 hours daily. Before the start of classes the foreign students distributed in groups according to the level of basic studying.
