Accommodation in the Filolo Spring Camp

Location & Accommodation
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.

Booking & availability

Do you still have places for Spring Camp?

We usually have availability, but some holiday weeks fill up faster than others. The easiest is to register via our website — if a week is full, we’ll let you know immediately and suggest the best alternative.

Can my child join for 1 week only? Can we book multiple weeks?

Yes — both are possible. If your child stays for multiple weeks, they remain in camp over the weekend with full supervision and a fun weekend program.

How is my child’s place confirmed?

After you register, we confirm by email and send the invoice.(Please always check your spam folder.)

Can we register now and decide travel details later (Geneva vs Zurich)?

Yes, absolutely. It’s still early for many families — you can book first and confirm the travel details as soon as your flights/trains are fixed.

Ages, groups & friends

How do you group children?

We group kids by age and language level (and by activity level where relevant). Our goal is that everyone feels comfortable and well matched. For room allocation, we also group by age — and boys and girls sleep in separate rooms.

My child is coming with a friend — can they be in the same room?

Yes, of course. Just mention the friend request in the registration notes and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

My child is shy / it’s their first time away — how do you help them integrate?

We take this very seriously: warm welcome routines, team games, small groups, and staff who actively help kids connect from day one.

Program & daily routine

What does a typical day look like?

Usually: language lessons in the morning, activities/workshops or an excursion in the afternoon, and a fun evening program (games, themed nights, camp moments).

How many kids participate in Spring Camp?

It depends on the week, but Spring often has a slightly calmer “family vibe” than peak summer weeks — while still being very lively and social.

What kind of activities are included?

Outdoor games, sports, creative workshops, local outings and excursions, plus our evening program (campfire-style moments, games, talent nights, etc.).

Language lessons

How do you place kids into the right language level?

We do a placement test on arrival (and observe during the first day). If needed, we adjust groups so every child is in the right level.

Can beginners join?

Yes — beginners are very welcome. The focus is on building confidence and speaking skills in a supportive, fun environment. We do lots of small-group games and a warm integration from day one, and staff keep a close eye to help kids settle in.

Can siblings choose different languages in the same week?

Yes (depending on the session set-up). They can follow different language tracks and still share the same camp life, meals, activities, and excursions.

Accommodation & daily life

What are the rooms like? How many kids share a room?

The standard accommodation included in the camp price is in shared rooms (up to 10-bed rooms). 5-bed rooms and double rooms are available with an extra charge. Bathrooms are shared on each floor, and are separate for boys and girls.

What’s included (bedding, towels, laundry)?

We share a full packing list before camp. Kids need to bring their own sleeping bag and towel, plus their personal clothing and essentials.

Do kids have free time?

Yes — we include structured free time (always supervised), so kids can relax, play, or chat with friends.

Food, allergies & health

Can you accommodate allergies and special diets?

Yes — please declare allergies and dietary requirements during registration so we can plan properly.

My child takes medication — can you manage it?

Yes. We have a clear medication process (safe storage and supervised administration if needed).

What happens if my child gets sick?

We take care of them, keep you informed, and if necessary we visit a local doctor/pharmacy.

Do we need insurance?

Yes — kids should have valid health/accident insurance.

Safety, rules & supervision

How is supervision organized?

We supervise children 24/7, including evenings and nights. Our team ensures clear rules, safe boundaries, and a supportive atmosphere.

What are the camp rules (phones, bedtime, leaving the site)?

We share the full rules before camp. In general: age-appropriate routines, respectful behavior, and phone guidelines that keep kids present and connected.

Do kids keep their phones? What’s your phone policy?

We have a clear phone rule to support real camp life and wellbeing. Phones can be used for around 1 hour per day, usually after dinner to call/message home. Outside of that time, phones are kept safely by our team and are not available — especially at night, so everyone can rest properly and get good sleep.
Parents also receive updates through our dedicated group, the Filolo Parents Club (photos, news & camp updates).

How do you handle conflicts between kids?

Staff intervene early, mediate calmly, and involve parents if needed. Our priority is a safe, respectful group dynamic.

Travel, arrival & transfers

What are the arrival/departure times?

We communicate the exact times and meeting points in the pre-camp info email. Arrival is on Sunday and departure is on Saturday. If you have a special request regarding arrival or departure, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help.

Do you offer accompanied travel?

Yes — we offer an accompanied train ride from Zurich and Geneva (see prices). Children travel together with our staff, and they can also join along the same route (for example in Olten or other stops on the way).

Do you offer airport transfers?

Yes — we offer airport transfers from Geneva Airport (see prices). A transfer from Zurich Airport can be organised in some occasions, but only upon request — please contact us in advance so we can confirm availability and the best option.

Do you support the Unaccompanied Minor (UM) service?

Yes — if your airline offers an Unaccompanied Minor service, it’s included in the airport transfer price.

Payment & invoice

When do we receive the invoice?

Shortly after registration — sometimes immediately. In general, you will receive the invoice within a maximum of 2 days after submitting your registration.

Can we pay in EUR?

Yes — depending on your preference. We use the currency exchange rate valid on the day we send the invoice, and we will provide the relevant account details.

I didn’t receive your email/invoice — what should I do?

First, please check your spam folder. If you still can’t find it, just let us know and we will resend the invoice right away.

Do you offer discounts (siblings / bring-a-friend)?

Yes — if applicable, mention it in the registration notes and we’ll confirm it. We will include the discount directly on the invoice.

Packing list

What should my child pack for Spring?

We’ll send a detailed packing list, but generally: layers, a waterproof jacket, warm hoodie, comfortable shoes, and everyday essentials.

What should my child not bring?

Expensive valuables and anything that could disturb camp life — we recommend keeping it simple.
