Teen Mountain Adventure 14–17 in the French Alps
Program Overview
Teen Mountain Adventure is a unique international summer program for teens aged 14 to 17, set in Megève in the heart of the French Alps. Designed for young people looking for more than a traditional language camp, it combines Alpine adventure, real-life language immersion, independence, teamwork and personal growth.
There are no traditional compulsory morning classes. Instead, English and French are used throughout the day in real situations: completing team missions, asking for information, presenting ideas, solving problems, organizing activities and communicating with international friends.
The program is deliberately limited to 8 teenagers per week, with 2 dedicated leaders, allowing each participant to take an active role, build confidence, develop leadership and enjoy greater independence within a safe and structured environment.
Each day offers a new challenge or adventure. Depending on the week and weather conditions, teens may take part in hiking, orientation, geocaching, missions in Megève or Chamonix, horseback riding, canyoning, lake activities, paddle, team challenges and outdoor adventures.
One of the highlights of the program is a mountain bivouac or refuge experience, where participants prepare their equipment, hike together, organize camp life, take part in outdoor challenges and spend the night in the mountains under professional supervision.
Teen Mountain Adventure is also about international friendships. Participants meet young people from different countries, share selected activities and evenings, and naturally use languages as tools for real communication.
The goal is not only to create unforgettable memories, but to help teens return home more confident, independent, adaptable and comfortable communicating with others.
More independence. More responsibility. More confidence.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to all the most common questions about International Language Camps.
How and where do you welcome children coming by air?
Campers can be welcomed at Geneva Airport (GVA) by a member of our team and transferred directly to Megève. On departure, we can also assist with check-in procedures. Unaccompanied Minor (UM) services can be arranged when requested in advance.
What language level is required to join the camp?
No specific level of English or French is required. The goal is to communicate, gain confidence and use languages naturally through real-life situations, team missions and international friendships. Teens are encouraged to speak and participate, whatever their starting level.
How is safety ensured during activities?
Safety is a priority. Teens are supervised by dedicated leaders, while activities requiring specific expertise are led by qualified professionals. Programs may be adapted according to weather and mountain conditions. Greater independence never means less supervision.
Can my child stay in touch with us?
Yes. Teens can use their phones at designated times so that they remain fully involved in activities and group life. Parents can also follow the experience through private photo and video sharing spaces. Our camp team remains reachable in case of emergency.
How are cultural differences handled?
Cultural diversity is one of the strengths of our camp. Teens from different countries live, explore and take on challenges together. Our team encourages respect, curiosity and open communication, helping each participant feel included while discovering different cultures and perspectives.
