Come and improve your language skills in our beautiful mountain chalet!
Located at the edge of the country‘s Fribourg region, Schwarzsee is the gateway to the Alps. Stunning mountains and a quaint little village are centered around a small lake, creating one of the most picturesque landscapes that Switzerland has to offer.
Our camp is aimed at 10 to 17-year-olds and takes place on the Schwarzsee campus, just a short walk from the lake, where you can improve your English, French or German skills in a proactive environment that truly gives you a taste of the Swiss mountain life. Outside of the classroom, you‘ll get to explore the mountains, swim in the lake and roast marshmallows over an open fire underneath a starry sky - the likes of which we can guarantee you‘ve never seen before!
The nationality and age mix at Schwarzsee Bilingual Camp varies over different time periods, courses and levels. Throughout the year, the average age is 14. In the summer, the average age is 14.
Schwarzsee Bilingual Camp teaches students from all over the world, including:
Located at the edge of Switzerland‘s Fribourg region, Schwarzsee is the gateway to the Alps and offers up some of the country‘s most breathtaking scenery. As well as providing the perfect environment for young people to develop their language skills, Schwarzsee also boasts a plethora of hiking trails, meaning that you can easily discover every corner of this beautiful mountainous region.
The village and stunning mountain range are centred around Die Schwarzee (German for The Black Lake), which is so-called because of the dark colour given to it by its high sulphur content - which makes it one of the healthiest places in Switzerland to bathe during the summer months, so don‘t be afraid to jump in!
In the daylight, Schwarzsee is an awe-inspiring sight, but it truly becomes special when the sun goes down: Due to its mountainous location, and lack of a nearby metropolis, Schwarzsee is home to one of the most crystal clear, star-studded skies that you‘re likely to find in the whole of continental Europe - a truly awe-inspiring sight that‘s not to be missed!
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 10 - 17. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
