Course description

Our friLingue Mathematics Camp in the beautiful Saint-Bernard Valley (canton of Valais) offers a stimulating and enjoyable academic experience in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Set against a backdrop of spectacular mountain scenery, fresh alpine air, and peaceful surroundings, this camp is perfect for children and teenagers who want to strengthen their mathematics skills while enjoying a fun and engaging holiday.

Each week, participants take part in 15 hours of mathematics lessons, held in small groups with an average of 8 students. Classes are designed to be motivating and interactive, using games and creative pedagogical approaches so that pupils can improve their confidence and develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts—all with a smile on their face!

In the afternoons and on excursions, students enjoy a wide range of sports, creative workshops, and regional activities, ensuring a balanced programme where fun and learning go hand in hand. All activities are supervised by experienced and caring staff, creating a safe and supportive environment throughout the stay.

Participants stay in comfortable, youth-friendly accommodation in a mountain chalet, with full-board meals included and wholesome food prepared to keep energy levels high.

Strap on your boots and embark on a week filled with exhilarating football training sessions and captivating language lessons, tailored for young enthusiasts who are eager to learn and have fun.

FOR KIDS & TEENS AGED 12-17 YEARS

Our latest camp is situated in Schwarzsee, an idyllic Alpine setting, ensuring an unforgettable experience away from the hustle and bustle. Please note, this isn't a professional camp; it's designed for football enthusiasts seeking an enriching and enjoyable experience rather than preparation for the Champions League :)

Participants will engage in morning language classes followed by action-packed football training, challenges, and matches in the afternoons and evenings. Between sessions, there will be opportunities for relaxation and enjoyable downtime activities, including a Friday night disco to unwind after an exciting week!

LANGUAGE CLASSES

Choose from three languages - Premier League English, Ligue 1 Français, or Bundesliga Deutsch. Our dedicated and dynamic teachers conduct classes in small groups, fostering meaningful interactions with an average of six students per class. Morning language sessions encompass a balanced blend of grammar, practical language application, and engaging projects tailored to make language learning accessible and enjoyable for young learners.

FOOTBALL

Under the guidance of our seasoned football coaches, participants will undergo training, challenges, and matches at full-sized pitches and top-notch training facilities, just a brief two-minute stroll from our Schwarzsee residence. The program focuses on honing individual skill sets, team dynamics, and game strategies through specialized drills, personal development techniques, and live match practices.

This is a remarkable opportunity to delve deeper into the world of football while enjoying the stunning surroundings of Schwarzsee. Don't miss out - seize the chance to expand your knowledge and skills in the game you love!
