LOCATION SAVOGNIN/GRISONS
The Grisons, Switzerland's holiday corner!
You will find everything you expect from Switzerland here: Proud mountain peaks
are scattered all over the landscape but still leave enough space for 150
valleys and a large national and nature park. The picture book climate spoils
mountains and valleys with lots of sun. The Grisons are a classic holiday
destination with a correspondingly modern infrastructure in tourism. Everybody
knows first class holiday destinations such as
St. Moritz, Davos, Arosa or the white arena around Laax and Flims.
Savognin's mild climate, with its marked Southern influence, is relatively dry
with many sunny days. Not only the famous painter Giovanni Segantini (in
Savognin 1886-1894) appreciated the unique natural beauty of the area, but also
countless visitors from Switzerland and abroad are always fascinated by the
magnificent mountain scenery.
The region and its villages offer a wide range of activities - Whether sporting,
for example with the bike, or on simple, undemanding walks through unspoiled
nature, or with complete relaxation on the beach of our bathing lake. Or
experience an extra burst of adrenalin with downhill mountainbiking, paragliding,
canyoning, rock climbing etc.... In Savognin you can make your holiday just as
you want it to be and you will take home unforgettable memories and a lot of new
friends.
CAMP CONCEPT

LANGUAGE CAMP
The Language Camp provides the perfect setting for acquiring communication
competency in German, French or English as a foreign language, based in a
relaxed and modern lab environment. With the assistance of interactive software
and our coaches,
students complete work on laptops according to their language proficiency, in
combination with a communication and project section. This modern language
course is directed towards those who enjoy working independently with a computer
and a well-designed language learning program while deciding for themselves at
which level and how quickly they learn.
The entry level will be determined by taking a test under the supervision of a
language coach. According to the results, a weekly plan will be composed for the
chosen language. In addition to written exercises, performed and corrected
directly on the computer, the course includes speech and comprehension tests as
well as translations. This course is designed with fun and enjoyment in mind,
yet requires a certain degree of independence and self-motivation.
