Jasmin Saifon Egger

I liked this very much, because i love this language and this feeling. The teachers were happy, funny, good and more.

The location was a hotel in the mountains, but it had a good panorama.
The activities were different and very good. The most of the activities were sporty and creative.

I liked all of this camp.

Thank you for this important moments from my life.

"The best way to learn and have fun at the same time."

Julia Stoller

So when my Mom first told me, that i had to go to Leysin for 2 weeks, i wasn't really happy about it, but i met so many amazing people in this camp. I am now happy that my mom sent me there. Also, the teachers were very friendly, and they knew how to teach us right. I've learned a lot in the camp and my French grade went from a 4.4 to a 5.4, so you can see how good the teachers are :)

I think the reason why I've learned so much was also because the teachers didn't only teach us they did a lot of stuff with us when we didn't have school. Also, the activities we did in the camp were absolutely amazing. We played Lazer Tag, went swimming, and other things. It was always loads of fun and relaxing after school.

The hotels where I slept were amazing, for real now. The bed was comfy and clean. and the food was delicious. Up there it says "say what you didn't like", but there's nothing I didn't like.

The camp is amazing and I would visit it again and again. :)
