Welcome to the latest blog from International Summer Camp Montana and we hope that you are well, wherever you might be reading from in the World!  We would all like to wish you a happy and healthy new year for 2012 from La Moubra.

For the first blog of this year, we wanted to show you just how different La Moubra looks from the summer season this year.  We have had a particularly snowy winter and this has left an incredible amount of snow around the grounds of ISCM.

Would you like to go on the basketball court, take a dip in the swimming pool, go to your English lesson in Hall 8 or even try to enter a room on the garden floor?  Well, there is just so much snow that all of these things are impossible without a good amount of digging and lots of patience!  Just look at some of the pictures that we have taken over since the turn of the year!

Time will always be an important part of life in Switzerland and being on-time is something that we strive to achieve in everything we do at International Summer Camp Montana.  Whether it is our kitchen ensuring meal-times begin at the correct time, specialists starting their activity lessons on the hour or our airport transfer service ensuring that our campers make their flights, being on-time is at the heart of ISCM.  Just remember, if you are spending your summer holidays at La Moubra, it always helps to have a watch!

The correct nutrition is extremely important in everyday life and that is why we make this one of our top priorities where campers are concerned.  A wide selection of healthy foods are provided each day at breakfast, lunch and dinner.  This ensures that our campers are well-fueled to play sports and have the right variety in their daily diet to ensure that they enjoy their stay at La Moubra fully.  There is of course, balance in our diet at camp – everybody has the chance to eat some of their favourites such as ice cream, burgers and french fries too!
