Covid-19: the Swiss Army at Le Camp
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.
Covid-19 : Le Camp is OPEN
The Camp is open again and complies with all the protection recommendations in front of Covid-19.
The reception is back to its usual opening hours and we are at your disposal:

Peupliers building gets a facelift thanks to the Works Commission
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.
International unihockey teams: here they are!
The Camp was lucky enough to host international women's unihockey teams for about ten days.
This is in connection with the World Cup, which takes place between 7 and 15 December 2019 in the Neuchâtel region.
A total of three teams have taken up residence at the Camp: the Latvian team, the Polish team and the American team ( in the picture). They are assisted in their organization by the Swiss team, which helped them book their stay and arrange transportation to the Maladière.
For the first time, they discovered the Neuchâtel region, and for some, Switzerland in general.
When they arrived at the Camp Foundation, the reactions were all similar: "Wow, what a view," exclaimed the players, under the spell of the landscape surrounding the Camp.
They quickly took up residence and tried, between two competitions, to rest in order to put all the chances on their side.
However, this will not be enough: after several days of intense competition, the American, then Latvian and Polish teams will be eliminated from the tournament. The Swiss team will face Finland in the final and will leave the competition with the silver medal around their neck. A fine victory for this competition "at home".
The experience was a great one for the international players, who will keep an unforgettable memory of the snow-covered Alps at the other end of the lake, with Vaumarcus Hill in the foreground.
