Discover Your Inner Artist at friLingue’s Creative Camp!
Join our new Creative Camp, where young artists come to life! Our camp is specially designed for children aged 8 to 13 who are passionate about exploring their creativity. In the inspiring setting of friLingue, we offer a unique blend of hands-on creative activities, all conducted in English, to foster artistic expression and imagination. Don’t worry, you don’t need to speak perfect English—creativity doesn’t require many words!
Please note: This camp does not include language lessons! However, you can book an intensive course if desired, with 3x2 or 2x2 lessons per week in the afternoon.
What to Expect:
Morning Creative Workshops:
In the morning, children take part in creative workshops designed above all around their interests: arts and crafts, where they explore painting, drawing, pottery and DIY through projects that change every day, drama and acting, to build confidence through games and performance, or creative writing, to invent stories, characters and worlds that reflect who they are.
The programme adapts to each child's passions, because it is their curiosity and enjoyment that guide every day.
Afternoon Program:
After a creative morning, you will join the regular friLingue afternoon program (see the “PROGRAM” tab).

EXCURSIONS
Half-day excursions
Right after their language lessons and lunch, we take our students to one of the nearby attractive locations near St. Bernard camp, which might be:
Champex - a stunningly beautiful small village with a great fairytale-like lake
Salt mines in Bex may not sound way too attractive but we highly recommend holding onto our hand when we descend into the dark pit and the intricate labyrinth of the salt mines.
Col du St. Bernard - a famous historical pass which was hosting Napoleon and Hannibal in their respective time periods, it's a must-visit once you are in St. Bernard!
Adventure park La Fouly is a beautiful and quite physically engaging complex, we guarantee that our students will remember this one!
Full-day excursions
Aletsch glacier is possibly the most physically demanding excursion our company has to offer but mark our words - it is worth every drop of sweat. Once you get up there on the altitude of little more than 4100m, you will witness the true greatness our majestic Swiss nature has to offer.
Sion - a city less than an hour drive away from St. Bernard camp, it has a rich history with a fortress in the middle of the city. Definitely worth visiting and spending a couple of hours there.
The Aosta valley is a stunning full-day excursion location in Northern Italy, where our students can experience all the beauties the Italian lifestyle has to offer, including hiking, rafting and pizza for dinner in one of Aosta's worldwide famous restaurants.
Emosson Dam is an architectural masterpiece with stunning hiking tracks and breathtaking panoramic views.
