Multi Activity Summer Camp in Switzerland

The Summer Camp is a combination of language classes or digital skills lessons and various free time activities. In the mornings participants learn German English or French or immerse themselves in the digital skills world with robotics and programming courses. In the afternoon they can look forward to an enriching programme according to their interests all in the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps.

Your Morning Course Language tuition in English, German and French or Robotics & Programming.

The course takes place in the morning.

1-Language Courses

German, English, French - or simply international?

The best way to learn a language is to hear and speak it daily. Standard teaching, as practised in most schools, often does not exhaust the full learning potential of the students. The language course classes are very small and homogeneous so that all participants learn at the right level in and about the topics that interest them. The German, English and French courses take place every morning before the activities. Which language you choose is up to you and must be specified when you register. All language levels are welcome and will be divided into different groups according to their level.

English course:

Do you want to learn the basics, improve grammar, refine your language style, learn for your final exams or work on your own strengths and weaknesses? We offer different groups for the various performance levels of our students. Our qualified teachers are native speakers and arrange the lessons in small groups tailoring them according to their needs.

German course:

German grammar is quite complicated for non-native speakers. Depending on their level of proficiency, we teach the basics of the language, deepen their knowledge with practical topics, practice writing and speaking in small groups and prepare participants for more complicated tasks such as interpreting German literature for German language diplomas in their respective schools.

French course:

Our various French courses are equally suitable for beginners and advanced students. They are designed according to the level of the participants. While the beginners’ course teaches the basics, the advanced courses aim to expand vocabulary, encourage students to speak the language and gain their first experiences with literary texts.

2-Digital Skills — Robotics & Programming

You can choose from three course options:

1.Build your own digital game with Python or Scratch: ?“Easily pick up a powerful and fast computer language”

Students are introduced to computer programming using one of the most popular professional programming languages on the market. Python is easy to pick up, whether a student is a first-time programmer or experienced with other languages. For younger students, we will start with MIT’s Scratch to allow students to more easily assemble blocks of code.

2. Digital storytelling ?“Create your own digital story or advocacy video”

In this course, students acquire real world hands-on experience in producing digital movies using their camera and computer. Explore the art and technology of digital filmmaking, including special effects using state-of-the-art video editing software, culminating in your own digital story or advocacy video for an issue you are passionate about.

3. Adventures in robotics with Arduino: ?“Build and program your own robot!”

Robots have an increasing presence in our daily lives. Whether a student is interested in digital intelligence or is a fan of Star War’s R2-D2, this course will allow him/?her to build a robot and then learn hands-on robotic programming with ?“Arduino”, a very popular robot programming language.

Your Afternoon Programme Film Acting & Performance , Milan Academy Football Camp, Sports & Activities or Golf Training .

One afternoon programme per camp.

1-Action! Film & Performance

Who doesn’t know him? Gian Franco Tordi (Ocean’s Twelve and other Hollywood productions as well as Lyceum Alpinum alumnus) will return to his old home for a few weeks this summer and will take over the direction of the film workshop at our holiday camp.
