About this programme

My Family is a residential summer camp for 8 to 13 year olds at Le Rosey's Gstaad Mountain Campus, aimed at children spending their first time away from home. The two-week programme combines morning English or French lessons with afternoon sports and creative activities, evening entertainment and weekend excursions. An optional third week, the Ultimate Adventure Week, replaces lessons with a week of outdoor adventure for up to 30 students. In 2027 it runs 4 to 23 July and 26 July to 14 August, costing CHF 8,200 for two weeks or CHF 13,200 for three.
Schedule
Mornings: English or French language academies (two 75-minute classes). Afternoons: sports and creative activities (basketball, climbing, cooking, football, golf, tennis, via ferrata, swimming and more). Evenings: entertainment. Weekends: excursions; optional third 'Ultimate Adventure' week replaces classes with a full week of adventure activities.
