Final Blog Post from the Reds!
13th July 2018
After a good night’s sleep Red Group filled their tummies with a delicious breakfast and started to hike back to camp. On the way down they were able to enjoy the beautiful Swiss landscape. On arriving at camp they all headed to the showers to freshen up. After lunch they went to the play area where they played chess and ping pong and went on the zip cord. The Camp Suisse Talent Show took place after dinner and this is where campers were able to show the different language skills they have acquired during their lessons

The Reds go Mountain Biking!
10th July 2018
Yesterday morning saw the red group have a go at mountain biking. For the three campers who hadn’t riden a bike very much before, they had the opportunity to have 1-2-1 support to help develop their confidence and skills. For the other campers, they had the opportunity to fine tune their skills and then ride back down the
mountain to camp.
The afternoon saw the red group have a 2-hour language lesson before either going climbing, playing football or doing arts and crafts in the afternoon.
Evening entertainment yesterday involved karaoke so the campers could show everyone how to really sing.
What a busy day!

The Olympic Flame comes to Camp Suisse
9th July 2018
This morning the entire camp was treated to a well deserved lie in, followed by a Nutella filled breakfast for reds and blues. Room inspections then began after the campers had made sure their bedrooms were perfect and clean for another week at camp.
Once the rooms were perfect and lunch was finished, exciting times laid ahead as Olympic day began.
Campers were sorted into different countries with members from red group up to yellow group. Campers got to put on face paint, make up chants and design a flag for their respective countries. The Olympic ceremony began with the lighting of the Olympic torch while each team descended to their national anthem. Campers then all headed to the football pitch where they competed in fun games such as an egg and spoon race, tug of war and frisbee golf. After touch competition, Brazil were crowned the Olympic gold medalists, closely followed by Japan and Egypt, with Maria Sofia and Adam G from green group winning prizes! The Olympics was followed by an impromptu water fight and then shower hour. Evening entertainment was an elective, with green group choosing to relax and do yoga, dance with a Zumba class and play more sports. Overall a great day!

Reds go to the Glacier!
Today Red Group woke up bright and early. Breakfast was at 6.15 am and although some campers looked really sleepy it was all worth it once we got up to Glacier 3000. On getting to the base we hopped on two cable cars, the views were absolutely mesmerising. Once we got to the top, Reds went to have some fun with the huskies. Our four-legged friends were without a doubt the highlight of the day. We even got the opportunity of petting them.
After some sledging and snowball fights it was time for some well deserved lunch. This filled them up with energy and prepared them for the Alpine rollercoster and the Peak Walk which consisted of crossing a suspension bridge which is almost 3000m up in the air.
All in all, it was a fantastic trip and as some campers described it: “an experience of a lifetime.”

The Reds & Blues get Jazzy!
7th July 2018
Yesterday the Reds and Blues had a very exciting and slightly different day here at Camp Suisse. After a morning of language learning, the campers had lunch at camp before going down to Montreux for the Jazz Festival. They took a look around the stalls, bought lots of unique gifts before having the opportunity to listen to some jazz music. A fantastic day was had by all and some of the campers are already planning on returning to Switzerland to go to the Jazz Festival again!

Blues and Reds go banana boating!
5th July 2018
After a morning of languages, it was time for the blues and reds to go banana boating and swimming at Villeneuve. It was a great experience and an exciting day for everyone and no one came off banana boating without having taken a dip in the lake. Smiles all round for what was a fantastic day.

Day One: Red & Blue Group
2nd July 2018
The first full day at camp for the Red and Blue Groups involved a whole range of activities and a lot of fun! The morning started with games in the sunshine and a very crazy game of dodgeball where the campers had to try and hit each other’s feet. The campers then completed their language quiz before have a delicious meal at lunchtime. The afternoon saw campers have a go at archery and bowls, two activites which were new to them but which they were very good at! Following the evening meal the campers had a great time at the children’s park, playing an intense game of bowls and going on the zip wire. What a great first full day at camp!

Session 4 – Day Three and Four – Red Group
11th August 2016
Red Group started the day with language classes, where they demonstrated the progress that they had made.
After a fantastic hot lunch, our campers prepared for their two hour hike up to the Alpine Refuge Centre. They beat the rain and played games and feasted on a barbecue dinner, before settling in front of a log fire to warm up!
The excitement of sleeping in a new place meant that Red Group were full of energy on Wednesday morning, ready for their hike back down to camp.
Our campers took a much-needed shower, and then proceeded to spend the afternoon making fires, building hammocks and shelters, and filtering water.
After dinner, Red Group had a well-deserved relaxing evening playing bingo!
Learning some survival skills!
Session 4 – Day Two – Red Group
9th August 2016
Today was a fabulous day for Red Group, despite the early wake up call at 5.45 am. Our campers visited Glacier 3000 and went sledding, husky dog sledding, and admired the beautiful panoramic views by walking along the suspension bridge.
After lunch, we headed back down the mountain to Villeneuve Swimming Pool to cool down in the lake and pool, and try the diving boards.
In the evening, our campers relaxed with a cup of hot chocolate and a film.
We loved sledding!
