Camp Structure

Typically the morning will be devoted to each camps specialist subjects, for example language or sport. During the afternoons our campers will join together to participate in an exciting and varied selection of activities and trips. These vary from sports,  such as swimming, volley ball or ice skating, through to group mountain activities, team building games, glacier exploration, or trips away to see local historical sights such as the roman ruins at Martigny, or the local Labyrinth or the Chocolate Factory.

 

In the evening after dinner campers will have the opportunity to be involved with a variety evening activities and adventures including a host of events such as ghost walks or disco nights, relaxing and imaginative games or perhaps some last minute preparation for the end of week show.    

 

Each and every camp is actively supervised by Summer Camp Director Jon West who works with Altitude year round. Assisting him are staff members who have experience as professional coaches, school-teachers, psychologists, and specialists in sports and arts.
