After forty years of service on the Board of the Foundation le Camp - 26 of which as President - Mr. Pierre-André Lautenschlager, from Prêles, handed over his mandate to Mr. Philippe André, from Yens, on the occasion of the General Assembly held on Saturday 22nd August last.

During his forty years of commitment, Mr. Lautenschlager has given the meeting, training and holiday centre overlooking Lake Neuchâtel its current face as well as an organisation that enables it to look to the future with serenity, at the service of its guests and supported by a team of competent and motivated staff.

An architect by profession, Mr Philippe André took a leading role in the infratstructural transformations. Determined to continue in the footsteps of his predecessor, the new president is already conducting studies for the refurbishment of a dormitory building to make it a modern reception area, suitable for groups of up to 25 participants.

A party for former board members, staff, friends and relatives followed the formal deliberations, allowing a convivial farewell to the outgoing president and three other board members.

The Fondation Le Camp will have the joy of organizing its Christmas market again in 2020 and opens its registration to exhibitors.

After a year's break, the traditional Le Camp Foundation Christmas Market will be back in operation, to the delight of all.

The Christmas market did not take place in 2019, to the regret of many of our stakeholders. This is why the Foundation Le Camp is pleased to announce that its Christmas Market will resume in 2020, and invites all interested exhibitors to register.

This year 2020, the market will take place on the weekend of December 19th and 20th, and will include some thirty stands.

These will be set up on Thursday 17 all day long and on Friday 18 in the morning, by our teams, in the main building and in the Rotonde.

Exhibitors are invited to set up their stands from Friday afternoon 18th, so that everything is ready for the opening of the Christmas Market on Saturday morning, December 19th, 2020. 

The Fondation Le Camp will be offering both visitors and exhibitors a catering service on the festive theme of Christmas.

The price for the whole weekend is CHF 100.00 per stand (only one stand size available), to be paid after confirmation of registration.

More motivated than ever, the whole Camp team is looking forward to welcoming you!

It's now been a few weeks since the Fondation Le Camp reopened its doors and is once again happy to welcome its guests. The sports fields are coming to life, the houses are starting to come alive with the laughter of the children, the kitchen is full of fragrance... Life at the Camp is starting to pick up again.

Do you have to stay in Switzerland this summer? Then don't look too long, and come and take a breath of fresh air at the Camp!

You will find all the comfort you need for a great holiday close to nature, and thanks to the Tourist Card 2020, you will be able to enjoy the many activities in the region free of charge.

The houses are rented per unit, as usual, but also per room for a certain period of time: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information!

In order to help the medical services overwhelmed by the fight against the virus, the Swiss Army company Hospital 2 has moved to the Camp.

The Camp is, of course, closed to our usual high-ranking guests according to the directives of the Federal Council and the Army has turned it into an entrenched camp as a rear base for its support to the Neuchâtel hospitals. The Hospital 2 Company based at the Camp is currently 130 men and women strong, including a guard detachment which provides security on the site night and day. The movement of civilians at the approaches to the Camp is limited.

Only individual visits by appointment to the Camp office are possible. The Camp's basic telephone line, 032 836 26 36, is available during office hours.

Taking advantage of the calmer winter season, Fondation Le Camp is giving a facelift to some of its buildings, thanks to the invaluable help of volunteers.

Since January, several teams have been working at the Camp to refresh or improve certain buildings, notably the Maison Peupliers.

Thus, the Peupliers building has been the object of particular attention by a team of faithful Friends of the Camp.

These people are involved in several aspects of the life of the Camp, in particular the Works Commission and do not shy away from getting involved, on the contrary!

Every Thursday, they usually meet at the Camp to undertake small jobs, such as the custom-built grill shelter built a few months ago for an event.

During this period, which is not very busy in terms of building occupancy, they met almost every day to carry out the work, assisted by the Camp's steward.

This way, they were able to repaint the walls, change the windows, the cable covers, the floors and much more !

Thanks to them, the Maison Peupliers will have a fresh and modern look for the summer, and the Fondation Le Camp thanks them wholeheartedly for their unfailing commitment.
