Located in the village of Château-d’Oex in the Gstaad Valley in Southern Switzerland, TASIS (The American School in Switzerland) is an international school based in the Swiss Alps. Each summer, we provide the TASIS Ecological Leadership Action Program (TELAP) to English speaking students ages 14-18.

This 5-week course is a challenging educational summer experience which carefully coordinates physical, emotional, intellectual, and ethical development.

Project-based learning activities encourage respect for self and others, environmental stewardship, and leadership skills that carry over into other important aspects of a young person’s life. At the conclusion of the program, participants put into action what they have learned by means of a planned eco-action project in a European country.

• International Language Camps is a European camp for children and teenagers ages 7 to 17 years old from around the world.

• The camps take place in Megève, a French ski resort in the Savoy Alps (French Alps), close to the Swiss and Italian borders. The nearest international airport is Geneva (only 75km away, and we can provide transfers from the airport).

• We offer holidays and vacations with a multitude of activities and a complete language teaching program, all in the heart of the French Alps.

• Our summer and winter camps give children the possibility to develop their linguistic skills in French or English and discover new activities and cultures.

• Our language programs offer an opportunity to learn a foreign language but also encourage campers to discover new cultures, to make new friends from around the world , to value different activities, to learn to live and work with others, to get involved with an international community and, most importantly, to blossom with this success.

• Everything is designed to establish an atmosphere of confidence and we encourage the campers to be active in their own learning, creating the desire to continue to learn and to communicate.

“Awesome camp! Super coaches! Varied activities! Fun guaranteed anytime during the summer! A unique opportunity to make new friends from other countries. Be prepared: you will want to go back...many times!"
