Collège du Léman Summer Camps have brought a fantastic summer experience to thousands of students over the past decade, always with a focus on learning new languages.
The beautiful campus is enhanced further by its proximity to Geneva, so it is natural that parents have relied on us to provide an unforgettable summer experience for their children, enjoying the best that a summer in Switzerland can offer. Being only 15 minutes from the airport, you can be sure that all our time is focused on great activities, not transit!
This year, after an extensive multi million investment programme, we are preparing for our best summer camp experience ever. With the help of our brand new facilities and our fantastic staff, we have expanded the offerings to allow an even more diverse set of activities to suit all tastes.
Whether you are interested in an academic focus, something for the technology minded, the arts or sports, we have something for you!

Programme Descriptions
The Genius Programme
For the student whose thirst for knowledge is unquenchable- a set of options that allows students to learn a new language, to take on the challenges of science in our state of the art science laboratories, to delve further into software programming or robotics, or to become a leader for the future through our international relations programme.
Where better to start than Collège du Léman, situated in Geneva? Our world famous academic programme will provide all the help you need to learn new skills.
The Action Programme
For the student who loves being active and creative- from sports, to drama, music or art, we’ve got something to make you happy. Here you will find options that allow students to follow their passion at whatever level they desire, from group lessons to tailored individual solutions.
Based on the shores of Lake Geneva, we have a water sports option, or perhaps you enjoy horse-riding, tennis, swimming, football, or basketball? Perhaps you could try your hand at circus acts like juggling, trapeze, or trampolines? The art classes and music options are fantastic too. Or maybe you’d prefer the glamour of drama and dance?
The Masters Programme
Still can’t decide? If you want a mix of knowledge and activities, we’ve got just the thing for you- our Masters Programme allows you to mix an activity from the Genius Programme in the morning, with one from the Action Programme in the afternoon- a balanced act for the student who wants to excel inside and outside the classroom.
We have something for everyone… which programme will you choose?
