In our camps you'll learn to ski or snowboard with our qualified instructors. If you are an advanced skier you'll improve your style on the slopes. You get the chance to try all sorts of sports like tobogganing, skating, snow-shoe trekking, etc. If the weather is bad, or as an alternative to winter sports, we will go on short excursions in the region, visit the swimming-pool, organize a rally, do some drawing and craftwork and loads.
On top of that you will have lots of time to have fun with your new friends from all over the world.
All information in the camps will be given in the national languages and the support team also speak English and Spanish.

Travel
Travel to the youth camps (from 14 years) is usually on an individual basis.
For the children's camps (8 - 14 years) the following is applicable: On the first day, the children meet up with the instructors at 1pm at Zurich airport railway station and continue their journey to the camp together. On the last day, the children and instructors travel together to Zurich Airport railway station and arrive there at 12 noon.
The following arrangements are possible for children travelling alone to Switzerland, unaccompanied by relations or friends:
On the first day from 9am and on the last day until 5pm we can accompany your child from the airport or a main railway station to the meeting point and back. To cover resulting additional costs, and according to expenditure, we will charge you a maximum contribution of CHF 50.- .
Accommodation
Our holiday camps are housed in simple but well-equipped hostels. Depending on the house-plan, participants will share three- to eight-bed dormitories and eat together with the whole camp ‘family'. The smooth running of the holiday camp requires that children and youngsters to lend a hand with daily chores, such as doing the drying-up or helping clean the rooms.
Support Team
Each holiday camp is organised and run by experienced team leaders. They have an efficient kitchen crew at their disposal and several group leaders to back them up. This team looks after the participants full-time from the minute they get up till bedtime. The instructors organise all activities and are also available during periods of individual free time. All the members of these back-up teams take time off during their own holidays to take part in the camps without much financial compensation.
