Learn languages in the Valaisian Alps. In the Val d'Entremont, close to the French and Italian borders, we‘ll be holding this extra-special language camp in the first ever friLingue-owned chalet!
This camp in Vichères-Liddes (VS) is aimed at young people aged between 10 and 17. Language lessons are held in small groups of 6 participants. Our enthusiastic and dynamic teachers are sure to make learning French or German an absolute pleasure. You can stay with us for 1, 2 or 3 weeks!
Accommodation in 4, 6 or 8-bedded rooms
Our spacious chalet "Relais de Dranse", renovated in 2014, is situated in Liddes, in a wonderfully quiet location on the Dranse, a headstream of the river Rhone, about 5 minutes below the pass road to the Aosta Valley in Italy. Sprawling countryside and no passing traffic make it absolutely perfect for a relaxed language stay in the Valaisian Alps!
Village Camps has developed an innovative and ingeniously crafted language-learning programme designed to fully engage the campers. An exciting range of projects, tasks, quizzes, competitions and games will inspire the interest and ensure the involvement of every camper. They are having fun together in small groups and will soon be using the words and phrases that they have been learning each day.
A New And Completely Different Way To Teach Languages
We deliver the English language programme in a way that is entertaining, interactive, engaging and challenging. We cleverly combine laughter and learning!
The campers learn from a new material that takes them outside their usual comfort zone but stimulates their interest providing them with new skills and knowledge that they can use during and after camp. Campers really enjoy learning to speak the target language together
Groups of students help choose their preferred lively projects
Emphasis is on gaining confidence and improving vocabulary so that they acquire fluency, engage in conversation and can aim at a presentation to an audience.
