Christmas Market - December 16 and 17
Our famous indoor Christmas Market is back!
In a week's time, the main building of La Fondation Le Camp will be transformed into Santa's workshop.
Over 26 local exhibitors will be on hand to show you their latest creations.
If you like to give gourmet gifts, you'll be in the right place: chocolates, local produce, powdered foods and loose tea will all be on sale over the two days.
And if you're a fan of local beverages, you'll find a range of craft beers, absinthes and wines from Neuchâtel.
Our fairy-fingered designers will also be on hand for your last gifts!
From textile creations for babies and children to hand-sewn bags, discover decorative objects made from wood, semi-precious stone jewelry, natural cosmetics and many other gift ideas.
In addition to the stalls, we'll be serving hot snacks, waffles and drinks.
Our little market is held indoors, and admission is free. It will be open Saturday from 10:00 to 18:30 and Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00.
Parking is available on site (also free of charge).
We look forward to welcoming you in the Christmas spirit!
Sunny work day
As it does every autumn, Le Camp was able to count on motivated volunteers for its autumn work day.
The Camp Foundation held its traditional autumn work day on Saturday 30 September.
Some fifteen loyal and motivated volunteers lent a helping hand to our works committee.
Under a radiant sun and in a friendly atmosphere, they worked on various tasks on the Camp grounds!
In particular, all the benches were sanded and repainted, as were the picnic tables and our bike storage area.
Landscaping work has also been carried out, including tree pruning, cleaning fireplaces and grounds, and building a low wall around Maison 5.
In preparation for winter, firewood was stored and put away.
The day was punctuated by moments of sharing between participants, and meals and snacks were even served on the terrace.
A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers for their commitment and their participation in the life of the Camp!

The new "Lovers' Corner"
A new look and a new space
Those who are attached to the Camp know it well: the "Lovers' Corner"! A small secluded area, a table and benches sheltered by a hill, the perfect spot for a picnic.
Unfortunately, this peaceful spot will have to give way to this new building as part of the futur projects.
A little saddened by this future disappearance, we have decided to move this spot. To do this, we worked with our hosts, the apprentice landscape gardeners from the Wetzikon professional school, who were staying with us in June.
The apprentices worked on several practical projects, both at the Camp and outside, during their end-of-year week.
The new Lovers' Corner has been created under the Old Laundries, with a small terrace surrounded by a dry stone wall and forest benches. A pizza oven has also been installed to enhance our offer.
We would like to thank the Wetzikon vocational school once again for this wonderful achievement.
