Behind the scenes

Published Monday, September 8th, 2008, 4:15 pm by Philippe Studer

Behind the scenes at La Moubra we have 60 house staff who work very hard to maintain the high quality of service and comfort that International Summer Camp offers to its young guests.

Our house staff consists of many different departments including, kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance, garden, and laundry.

We had a barbecue to thank them for all their work on Friday 5th September.

Please see below for the pictures of the beautiful afternoon and our photo gallery.

The beginning of La Moubra

Published Friday, September 5th, 2008, 12:24 pm by Philippe Studer

The construction of the Moubra building was started in 1926. It was originally built as a private clinic for the treatment and recovery of tuberculosis.

It was one of the first buildings to be built with reinforced concrete in the 1920’s.

The pictures below are of when it opened in the 1930’s.

Since its opening in the 1930’s the Moubra building has been under continuous change and is an ongoing process even today. Please see our photo gallery to see more pictures.

Growing up in many different places meeting new people every 2 or 3 years makes it hard to find a place to call home, but for me ISCM was always there.

I am now happily married and living in Switzerland but enjoy every moment I get to spend at camp.

I started work at ISCM in 1996 and have been returning ever since. It’s a place where lasting friendships are made, campers and staff alike. I enjoy every year to see my friends and to see the campers grow and mature from the juniors to pioneers to seniors.

ISCM has been a big influence in my life and a source of many happy memories.

I hope that I have been a positive influence in the lives of our campers over the years and have helped to build the foundations for many happy summers to come at ISCM.

I hope that the campers love this place as much as I do,

See you all next summer!

The Colour Olympics

Published Saturday, August 9th, 2008, 8:56 am by Philippe Studer

The second Sunday of each session we organize the “Colour Olympics”, a set of fun outdoor activities, like the slide, that is one of our campers’ favorite as you can see in this video:

This video has also been published in our new YouTube channel where we are going to publish more fun camp videos.

Camp Laundry

Published Friday, August 8th, 2008, 7:03 pm by Philippe Studer

At International Summer Camp Montana campers bring their clothes to the laundry in the morning and then collect them clean and folded in the evening.

This way they can minimize the amount of clothing they need to bring to camp for the session. Please see our photo gallery to see our laundry in details

Circus Tent at ISCM

Published Monday, August 4th, 2008, 5:36 pm by Philippe Studer

In 2007, we wanted to start a whole new set of fun and creative activities for our campers by installing … A Circus Tent!

You can take a look of the pictures where you will be able to see how the circus tent was installed… it was amazing!

A professional artist introduces campers to juggling, acrobatics, tightrope walking and balancing.

The circus tent also serves as an ideal location to organize many activities like movie nights, stunt nights, fashion shows.. among many others!

Please, visit our photo gallery to see more pictures of the Circus Tent.
