Le Camp Foundation wishes everyone a happy holiday season
2020...
A special year, very different from the others, full of uncertainties and difficulties to overcome.
A year in which we had to constantly reinvent ourselves, find solutions, adapt, sometimes give up.
As was the case with our Christmas Market 2020, which we regrettably had to cancel because of the health situation and the measures taken by the Confederation. And yet, what a wonderful enthusiasm this market has generated among the region's craftsmen and craftswomen! Le Camp Foundation was able to count on a very large and talented number of registrations from artisans who not only attended, but also showed a heart-warming enthusiasm. We look forward to planning an upcoming market and bringing them all together as soon as the location permits.
While it has its share of challenges, 2020 was above all a magnificent year of mutual aid, both nationally and locally, during which Fondation Le Camp had the immense opportunity to (re)discover the solidarity of its hosts, as well as the generosity and support of its Friends and partners, whom it sincerely thanks.
We therefore wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, a wonderful New Year's Eve and a healthy and happy start to 2021. Take care of each other, and all the best to everyone!
Special Covid-19: Seminar and company meals in compliance with sanitary measures
The Le Camp Foundation has been able to adapt to the various health restrictions that have affected Switzerland recently, following the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic.
On the strength of its experience and its protection concept, it is now able to accommodate groups of up to 40 people for full seminar days, while respecting the distances of 1m50.
For this purpose, our conference rooms are installed as shown in the picture, with the chairs spaced 1m50 apart.
During the meal, the participants in the seminar day are placed at both ends of a 1m90 long table, with the tables spaced 1m50 apart.
Disinfectant is available throughout the day in all seminar rooms, which are themselves regularly disinfected.
Lists of participants are obligatory and allow, if necessary, a very quick tracing.
Wearing a mask is not obligatory within the same group of guests, but is strongly recommended.
The Fondation Le Camp thus wishes to offer a quality solution, suitable for companies who wish to maintain their end-of-year meals or organise training or seminar days.
On 22 August 2020, Le Camp Foundation was delighted to welcome its first "photoshooting - wedding inspiration" in the company of its favourite wedding providers.
On this wonderful day, many of the region's wedding providers, who usually collaborate with the Le Camp Foundation, got together to give free rein to their talent:
After a successful beauty makeover by Timotée in the Zwingli house and after putting on the magnificent dress of Douce Apparence and the splendid jewellery of Colayco, the bride and groom were photographed from all angles by our talented photographer, Raphaël. Whether near the main building, on the green amphitheatre, in the Rotunda or in the middle of the vineyards, our bride and groom found themselves in the midst of the magnificent decorations created by Mademoiselle C and Histoire de Fleurs especially for the occasion. They even had the chance to taste the wonderful wedding cake made by Confiserie Schmid.
The photos were recently sent to us and the Fondation Le Camp is delighted to share the result, which can be viewed on our instagram account or our facebook page.
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.
