What 2023 parents told us
Ski Megève 2023
Thank you so much for taking care of our kids… for seeing who our kids are when they are away from us, maturing and overcoming their own fears.
…gracias por la experiencia, por las atenciones y por estar al pendiente. En mi caso fueron rebasadas las expectativas a 360 grados.
Translation: …thank you for the experience, for all the care, and for staying on top of everything. For me, it went beyond my expectations in every way.
Gracias Sabine por crear esto, por todo el trabajo detrás que no vemos, Nicolle que estuviste con ellos y cuidarlos, por llevarlos y estar al pendiente.
Translation: Thank you, Sabine, for creating this and for all the work behind it that we don't see. And Nicolle, thank you for being there with them and taking care of them, for taking them and keeping an eye on everything.
Thank you so much for putting up with us... very worried and first time parents to have their children away for so long. My girls were eager to tell everything they did and how this experience made them grow. We grew too a little more and enjoyed each picture and video you shared.
Me imagino que todos ya felices con sus hijos en casa y con mucho que escuchar y tal vez muchas fotos que ver. […] mil gracias por todo y éxito.
Translation: I imagine everyone's happy to have their kids home by now, with lots to hear about and maybe lots of photos to look through. […] Thanks a million for everything, and all the best.

Questions parents ask us
What ages is the camp for?
The camp is for students ages 14 to 18. Each session is two weeks in Megève, France, and the group rides there together by private transfer from Geneva Airport.
Who travels with the group, and how many adults are there?
A MAcC staff member travels with the group both ways. In Megève, MAcC counselors and facilitators travel with the group too, and your teen skis with our own ski instructors. On average, there's 1 teacher for every 10 students in each session.
Where will my teen sleep?
At the chalet, in rooms of six. On ski days, lunch and dinner are at the chalet too. Every night there's a 9:00 p.m. check-in with MAcC staff, and bedtime is 9:30.
Is airfare included? Where does the trip start?
Airfare isn't part of the program fee, so each family books and pays for their teen's flight. The group meets at Geneva Airport (GVA) on the travel day, one day before camp starts. From there, a private transfer takes everyone to Megève, and back to GVA at the end, on scheduled days and times.
What will my teen eat?
Three meals a day, cooked by our Mexican chef. On ski days there's also a healthy snack halfway through the lesson, and dinner is at the chalet every night.
How many days do they ski? Do we need our own equipment?
Your teen gets 7 ski days with MAcC's own ski instructors. Boots, skis, poles, a helmet, and the lift pass are all included, and there are ski lockers... so any skis or boots you own can stay home.
What about school during those two weeks?
Independent study is built into the day: 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on ski days, and 8:30 a.m. to noon on day-trip days. That's time for assignments from your teen's school back home, and French classes are part of the program too.
What travel documents does my teen need?
Minors need a notarized travel consent letter. We handle it at the school, and the notary fee is paid when you sign. Passport and visa requirements depend on your teen's nationality, so message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm exactly what to bring.
What if my teen has never skied?
That is completely fine. The camp is open to complete beginners, and no prior experience is required. MAcC instructors sort students into groups by ability on day one. Plenty of students arrive having never skied and are handling red runs two weeks later.
Is my teen covered by insurance?
Yes. Major medical and life insurance are included in the program fee. For coverage details and limits in France, ask us on WhatsApp.
How do I reserve a spot and pay?
Message us on WhatsApp. A €1,000 deposit holds the spot; it's non-refundable and goes toward the total, and spots fill in the order deposits are received. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, or bank transfer (installment terms are set by your card issuer), and the balance is due no later than 30 days before departure.
Can we get a refund if we cancel?
The €1,000 deposit and program rates are non-refundable, and restrictions apply. If you have a specific situation in mind, ask us on WhatsApp before you reserve.
Is there a longer option than two weeks?
Yes. There's a full-month option, January 9 to February 6, 2027, and a three-month program. Ask us on WhatsApp for fees and details.
What should my teen pack?
Toiletries, school supplies (including a plug adapter), and dorm items. We send families a detailed clothing list, and every student gets MAcC luggage organizers, plus a MAcC hoodie and sweatpants.
Where do the day trips go?
There are 2 private day trips each session. Possible destinations include Geneva, Annecy, and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in France, Switzerland, or Italy. Destinations are tentative and may change.
Are French classes included?
Yes. French classes are part of the program fee, along with 7 ski days and independent study on the schedule. Whether your teen needs any French to start: [TO CONFIRM · MAcC].
