Directors
The Camp is owned and directed by a family of Swiss professionals:
Philippe Studer, Tania Mathieu and Erwin Mathieu
Philippe Studer is responsible for programming and educational supervision as well as for the house staff and domestic facilities. He is a graduate of the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, Switzerland, with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management. He is also a member of the American Camp Association.
Erwin Mathieu, Philippe's uncle, has been the Administrative Director since 1966. He has a solid background in business administration, is an active sportsman and is very much involved in all aspects of the Camp and education.
Tania Mathieu, Erwin's daughter, is finishing her studies and when at Camp she is in charge of the riding department.
The Camp was founded in 1961 by Rudy Studer, Philippe's father. He was a graduate of Basel University, Switzerland, and together with his wife Erica Studer-Mathieu, they devoted their lives to recreational education because of their strong belief that sports and international friendship are a truly important part of learning for today’s youth.
