SWITZERLAND LES ELFES SKI CAMP

Since Academic Year 2000-2001 our school has been organizing a winter camp at "Les Elfes, Verbier ski school", which is in the Swiss Alps. At this camp, our students have the opportunity to meet students from forty countries and gain different perspectives. Besides a heavy skiing program, they also learn more about the host country's culture and have the chance to practice their foreign languages with peers from other countries and extend their knowledge of different cultures. The school organizes barbecue parties, skiing competitions and many other activities. For every ten students there is one teacher leading the group.
