About this programme
Aiglon Summer Camp runs on the Aiglon College campus at Chesières in the Swiss Alps from 27 June to 31 July 2027 for ages 8 to 16, with day campers accepted from age 7. Campers stay for 1, 2 or 3 weeks, either as boarders in the school's houses or as day campers. Each week is either an all-day Signature Academy (drama with Guildhall School of Music & Drama, survival with Bear Grylls, football with Manchester City, adventure or mountain biking) or a Classic Camp with a morning focus such as art, English, French, robotics or leadership and a different alpine activity each afternoon.
Schedule
Mornings: chosen course instruction after breakfast until lunch; afternoons: activities such as climbing, kayaking, art and sports or continued courses; evenings: house-based tournaments, movie nights, plus a weekly BBQ and disco.
