Summer Camps are nothing new to the World. As far back as the early 20th century children have been sent away from home to help develop certain skills, experience the great outdoors, meet new people, to learn that all important element of independence, and quite simply to have fun away from home!

Fast forward to the present day – any global destination is now reachable on a plane, worldwide communication at the click of a button, times and attitudes have changed so the need for the summer camp exists more than ever.

At Les Elfes our Summer Camps provide more than just great activities and experiences.
We introduce life long skills such as communicating with others, without your phone or laptop,  understanding the value of living in a community away from the familiar environment of home or school. Of course there are massive benefits to learning a new activity such as Mountain Biking or Rock Climbing, and gains from our tailored Leadership and Career Guidance programs, but  having a break from the academic cycle of school and putting fun, creativity and excitement on a daily basis as the priority is where the strength in summer camp lies.

At Les Elfes we welcome students from over 70 different countries each year.
We are proud to deliver programmes with such a diverse range that students from all corners of the globe can enjoy learning through adventure with Les Elfes. We pride ourselves on creating an atmosphere where students can learn about other cultures, learn new languages, experience new foods, new styles of dance, new games and a greater understanding of the world around them.

Our staff members reflect this diversity, speaking a range of languages and a comprehensive understanding the cultural expectations of many countries from around the world. With languages such as: Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, Italian, Portugese, German, Arabic to name a few, you can be assured that the students will be well taken care of.

Throughout their stay with us our individuals are organised into age groups. They have assigned monitors in their age group who will get to know them throughout their stay and provide them with support and guidance.

The age groups enable campers to find friends of a similar age from different countries and to learn a little about one-anothers’ cultures.

In the summer the activities we offer to the different age groups are suited to the age of the campers but there are still times when campers will have some evening activities or whole-camp activities together with all of the age groups combined.
