Easter Language Camp for Kids and Teenagers

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Yes — kids should have valid health/accident insurance.

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

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

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).

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

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.

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).

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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