Weekend filled with activities and leaves, autumn is here!

Dear all,

What a fantastic weekend we had here at Champs des Bois! We kicked things off on Saturday with tons of fun activities. The kids got to enjoy activities like badminton, horseback riding or tennis, keeping everyone active! In the afternoon, we took a stroll into Versoix, where we picked up some treats and essentials—snacks and a few fun items to make their rooms feel even more like home!

Sunday was a bit more relaxed, and we took full advantage of the morning to sleep in and recharge for the week ahead. Later, we set off for a beautiful two-hour hike through the Versoix forest. It was a perfect way to wrap up the weekend on a peaceful note!

To end the weekend, we spent the afternoon making sure the house was spotless and ready for the new week. All in all, it was a weekend full of fun, fresh air, and a bit of home care—a perfect balance!

May the Burger Be with You!

Dear all,

Tonight at Champs des Bois we witnessed a showdown for the ages! It all started innocently—a tray of delicious burgers served up for dinner, as it was Dinner at Home evening! But as soon as the last burger came into view, tension filled the room… The boys looked at each other, and we all knew: “The burger is strong with this one.”

In seconds, lightsabers were drawn, and an epic Jedi battle began. With sound effects worthy of the galaxy far, far away, each one was determined to prove that “This is the way”—to claim the final, glorious burger. The dining hall rang with intensely, and Donny, after a memorable fight declared, “I am one with the burger, and the burger is with me!”

In the end, peace was restored and bellies were full. The Force was strong in Champs des Bois last night, and we’re already looking forward to the next adventure. May the burgers be with them!

We’re back from the October break, and we’re feeling more recharged than ever! After a well-deserved rest, everyone has returned to campus with big smiles and plenty of energy, ready to jump back into classes and activities.

The kids came back so happy, bringing along some special treats, souvenirs, and stories from their home countries. It’s been such a joy to watch them sharing little pieces of their cultures with each other, from delicious snacks to small gifts and fun tales of their time at home.

Champs des Bois is so alive with all the laughter, stories, and excitement about being back together. We’re all looking forward to this new part of the term, and we can’t wait to see what new memories we’ll create along the way!

First Weekend of October!

Dear all,

For the first weekend of October, we had a full schedule of activities here at CDL!

On Saturday morning, the boys enjoyed a variety of exciting activities, including tennis, badminton, football, and cooking. In the afternoon, some of us took a trip to Geneva for shopping. Since most of them were eager for chocolate, we visited the Lindt store to pick up some delicious sweets, and then we treated ourselves to ice cream on the main avenue.

On Sunday, we had planned to visit an adventure park, but due to the weather, we decided to stay at the Boarding House. We enjoyed some engaging games together and finished the day by watching Raya and the Last Dragon.

It was a weekend full of fun and great moments!

Spanish Dinner!

Dear all,

Tonight, we had the chance to enjoy some amazing traditional Spanish food, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for everyone. The night was full of good vibes, delicious dishes and incredible music!

The cooking team prepared some classic Spanish favorites like paella, chorizo, chicken, and catalonian cream.

As a Spanish, I can genuinely say it was incredible—it really made me feel at home!

Champs des Bois – Dream Team

Dear all,

As House Parents, we’ve always known that our boys are talented in many activities, but we didn’t expect to find such amazing football players here in the Champs des Bois!

This week, we encouraged them to play football after dinner, and we were shocked by their skills! Each of them showed impressive footwork, bringing to mind the legendary ‘Galácticos’ of Real Madrid or Arsenal’s unbeatable ‘Invincibles’.

We always enjoy playing different sports together, but this football match was especially fun.

Check out the photos below—you’ll see we almost look like a real All-Star team! And just look at Donny’s face, you can really see how excited he was!

Memorable Weekend in Leysin – Swiss Alps!

On Friday, September 6th, the entire Champ des Bois house, along with the Boarding team, embarked on an weekend adventure in Leysin, nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps!

Saturday was a perfect day for hiking, where we not only enjoyed the incredible scenery and sun but also learned fascinating facts about the mountains and the local culture. Sunday brought a creative twist, as the children spent the morning blending art with nature—what more could we ask for?

Now it’s time to rest and get ready for the exciting Discovering Days ahead!
