Is this camp right for my child?
Language progress that parents can realistically expect
-
Speak with more confidence
With 15 hours of lessons per week and small, level-based groups of up to six students, every student has more opportunities to speak, ask questions and participate actively.
-
Learn at the right level
Students are grouped according to their current language ability, not simply their age. This allows teachers to adapt the lessons so that each student feels challenged without feeling overwhelmed.
-
Meaningful progress, not instant fluency
One week can noticeably strengthen a child’s speaking confidence, motivation and willingness to use the language.
We do not promise fluency after only a few days!
The goal is meaningful progress, positive experiences and a child who returns home more willing to speak than when they arrived.
Accommodation in the Filolo Autumn Camp
- Chemin de Monteret 4, 1264 St-Cergue VD
- Private forest setting with football, basketball, table tennis and campfire areas
- Easy access to Nyon, Geneva, Lausanne and excursion destinations
Location & Accommodation
Space to learn, relax and enjoy the view
The cosy little town of St. Cergue is located in the Jura Vaudois Nature Park, nestled between Lausanne and Geneva, and about 10 km northwest of Nyon. From almost anywhere in the property, you can enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.
The house itself is a two-story building containing several spacious bedrooms, multiple classrooms, toilets and showers and a professionally equipped kitchen - as well as a massive terrace. Overall, there’s enough space inside and outside for our workshops, evening programmes and the much needed chill time at the end of the day.
Room Options
Choose the room option that suits your child best: 10-bed, 5-bed or 2-bed.
Food
Fresh, balanced meals prepared on site
We strike a good balance between health and comfort, as we serve fresh & healthy, locally sourced food with a bit of heart and soul thrown in when needed.
Our own private kitchen team prepare fresh meals on a daily basis. We bring our own ideas, recipes and creations to ensure your eating is both nutritious and delicious during your stay.
Adventure
Learning continues beyond the classroom
At Filolo the learning experience doesn’t stop in the classroom, and the real adventure begins once the lessons are over. Our jam-packed activity programme includes workshops, three weekly excursions, and a full schedule of evening activities, all of which will incorporate your target language.
Some of our most popular activities include go-karting, hikes through the Alps, and movie-making workshops. Don’t sweat though - you will also get some much-needed chill time around the house and by the lake with your new pals!
