After three years of renovation, hundreds of campers, volunteers, donors and friends of the Bible Reading League gathered from 28 to 30 August to celebrate the reopening of Le Clos des Pierres, a former farmhouse-turned-camp chalet in Rougemont, Switzerland. The building, acquired by the League in 1967, aims to keep welcoming children, teenagers, families and church or association groups to a place for encounter, friendship, rest and discovering God.
League committee president David Rossé, also a pastor at Église la Fraternelle in Nyon, said unexpected setbacks — including a 2025 fire in the main hall and the need to build a dike against a nearby stream — had delayed the project, originally due to reopen for camps in June 2026, but that the paperwork for the inauguration came together in days rather than the usual weeks or months. The festive weekend included a ceremony attended by representatives of the Rougemont and Château-d'Œx communes.
