General information about the registration
Before completing the application form, please make sure that your child really wants to come to one of our camps in Switzerland.
We think that although the camp offers marvellous opportunities and experiences, a Swiss holiday has sides to it, which must be considered seriously. The journey to Switzerland is long. Familiar faces normally surrounding the children during the year will not be there. At a holiday camp the child must adjust to other people's wishes and put her or his own needs into the background.
But there is more: our summer camps are the best opportunity to make new contact with children of the same age living in a completely different part of the world. Our camp family is normally formed by about 30 to 50 children coming from more than a dozen different countries. We will make sure that the children have enough possibilities to organise their leisure time to play and discuss with their new friends. Keep in contact with children all over the world and of different languages, this is a possibility which only the camps of the Foundation for Young Swiss Abroad can offer!
All of these matters should be thoroughly thought through and discussed with your child before applying. We are convinced that most of our participants will have a wonderful time in Switzerland. But we also are aware that a holiday of this kind could be difficult for a child if it is arranged against his or her will.
Please note: In case of a successful registration you are going to get a
notification saying so. Should this not be the case, you will have to
register again. If you are facing repeated difficulties, please
contact us.
