Last weekend Camp Future Starts came to visit International Summer Camp Montana. Camp Future Stars is a summer camp based in Turkey that was founded by Fahrettin Gözet in 1993 and is owned and operated by Fahrettin along with his brother Murat and Ozman. They provide a diverse summer program in an international environment. www.campfuturstars.com

In addition to their ski program in Turkey, in January 2011 Camp Future Starts will organize their first winter program in Switzerland, staying at La Moubra.

During their visit they were accompanied by the camp owner and director Philippe Studer for sightseeing in Crans-Montana, Lausanne and Geneva.

In April we started the construction of a large building which will be home for our staff in 2010. The house will have 35 studios’, underground parking and one classroom for language lessons. The building will be operational in June 2010.

The house will be named “Residence Erica” in memory of Erica Studer who together with her late husband Rudy Studer and her brother Erwin Mathieu founded International Summer Camp Montana over 45 years ago.

It is now her son Philippe Studer together with co founder Erwin Mathieu who own and direct International Summer Camp Montana today. Philippe’s Cousin Tania Mathieu is currently studying at a hotel management school in Glion and will join the family team after she finishes her studies.

This past winter I went for the first time to China.

International Summer Camp Montana welcomes boys and girls from all over the world, but at the present time only few chinese families send their children to our camp.

We would like to have more guests from China to expand our international community, and because of this we already have our brochure translated into chinese!

A journalist from the chinese magazine “Bizmode” made me an interview. The subject of the article was the Studer – Mathieu family, the history of the camp and how we plan to develop our business, especially in China.
