Le Rosey Camps offer the opportunity to experience a glimpse of the Rosey spirit, become more independent, forge lifelong friendships and of course, have fun in a short couple of weeks. A unique experience in true Rosey style!
Live in an international and multi-cultural environment (78 nationalities), where swapping from one language to another becomes as easy as counting “one, two, three”. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, whether by the lakeside or in the Swiss Alps with our wide range of sports and excursions. Develop your artistic talents, theatre skills and musical ability in Rolle at our futuristic Paul & Henri Carnal Hall.
“Rosey has prepared me to explore all of my different passions. So hopefully I can have a major in the sciences, but also take courses in the arts,
take courses in different languages and really develop the skills that I have learned and loved at Rosey. The one thing I will cherish
from Rosey now that I’m graduating is the friendships that I’ve made and the community around me. It’s not just your class that you graduate with – it’s the people who have been here for generations and I feel like I share this sort of bond with all these people.
To anyone who is coming to Rosey I would tell them to be themselves. It’s such an open and accepting place. It has really
allowed me to develop who I am and not hide from my true identity… to make real friends and create meaningful connections
with people from all over the world.”
Caroline Marshall, Princeton University, Class of 2015
