Our Chamonix camp is a holiday for teenagers, based high in the mountains in Chamonix, France. This year's holiday takes place from August 9-16, where the charity will be taking 9 children and 6 volunteers. The Chamonix camp is a special one and most people return home needing another holiday to recover from this one!
Location
The camp takes place in Chalet Robért, which is kindly donated for our use by Bob Camping. Chalet Robért is a large, traditional French chalet set in the picturesque surroundings of Les Houches which sleeps up to 18. It is positioned within 5 minutes' walk of the Prarion lift which gives access to the largest ski area in Les Houches.
Medical care
Medical care is provided by a doctor who stays with us at the accommodation and travels with us to all the activities. The local hospital is 10 minutes' drive away and provides excellent emergency medical care. If your child is on treatment please contact us and we can discuss how we can cater for them.
Accommodation
The chalet is laid out over three floors providing 4 double rooms (3 of which are ensuite), 2 twin rooms, one single room and a bunk room which sleeps 5. There is a spacious kitchen and living/dining area on the ground floor with plenty of room to seat everyone. The lounge with its ornate stone fireplace and modern entertainment facilities opens out onto a large balcony/deck, perfect for taking in the view and enjoying a few winter drinks or maybe a summer barbeque.
Activities
The activities in Chamonix are more adventurous compared to our other camps, but there's still plenty to do for everyone. Activities include rock climbing, white water rafting, mountain biking, gorge scrambling, luge, volleyball, and plenty of chilling out after all the activities!
We've arrived in Chamonix and are already having an amazing time! This photo was taken at Belle Vue, a viewpoint at the top of a cable car near to Chalet Robert.
