John F. Kennedy International School was founded in 1949. The school is located in the German part of Switzerland, in one of the most beautiful mountain villages. It is located just 3 km from the world-famous ski resort of Gstaad.
They still exist - real alpine villages. Saanen is one of them. Here are cosy chalets, mountains and cattle. They give the Saanenland resort region their charm. The village and its inhabitants are the embodiment of alpine authenticity. Visitors feel at home here.
In summer, the school offers children an adventure camp, training in nature, in vivo. This is an adventure that will be remembered for a long time.
KEY FACTORS
- English is the main language of the camp. Children practice it in the process of activization, games and communication. This is the best way to start confidently speaking a foreign language!
- Amazingly beautiful nature and fresh air - perfect for summer holidays!
- Great importance is attached to teamwork - children will learn to work together, be tolerant of others, and will also increase their self-esteem.
EQUIPMENT
The school has a well-equipped library of 8000 volumes, a large number of computers with training programs, and a video library.
PROGRAM
The program is a real adventure camp. In addition, the camp is also informative! Children learn a lot about the world and nature.
Research: children will actively explore the forest, rivers and mountains, examine the mountain stream, check the purity of the water, its speed and temperature. They explore the flora and fauna of the river and find out how it changes.
Discovery: children will learn, for example, the wonders that rock formations can offer. They will not only discover various geological formations, but they will also learn how limestone was formed and will look for fossils. In addition, children will learn how birds and insects use the rocky habitat for their purposes.
Tourism: children will learn to build a campground, choose the right place, make a fire, and ensure safe living. Amazingly clean alpine air will make it possible to observe the Milky Way and see the real night life.
Hiking: a great opportunity to discover the Alps. Children will get acquainted with alpine flora and fauna, as well as life on summer pastures. They will learn how to navigate safely in the mountains with the help of a map and a compass, consider weather conditions and choose the right equipment for hiking.
A new theme is chosen each week:
- “Water” with all kinds of water-based adventure activities.
- “Mountains” with hiking and camping.
- “Rocks” with training in all rock climbing techniques. Using all their senses, students will explore forests, streams, and mountains. For example, they will explore a mountain stream, checking the cleanliness, speed, and temperature of the water. They will study the flora and fauna of the river and find out how it changes along its course.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation in traditional chalets in the heart of picturesque surroundings. Boys and girls live separately. After breakfast, students set off to explore the Alpine countryside. Every day is filled with exciting activities. In the evening, you can relax in the company of new friends and enjoy a barbecue or Swiss fondue.
The camp provides a balanced and varied menu that respects cultural differences. We organise a barbecue outside at least once a week. The camp has its own Chef that prepares meals with fresh goods of the day and from the region.
