Summer Camps take place during summer, having a minimum duration of 7 days and maximum of 14 days, with overnight stay and activities included.

How do Summer Camps work?

Participants organized in different groups, by age. Each group will be accompanied by a team of our Staff, and each team is headed by a coordinator.

Important schedules and visits in Summer Camps

From the time your children enter our space, our biggest concern is their well being. It’s based on this objective that we undertake all our efforts and our energies.

ENTRY SCHEDULES IN SUMMER CAMPS: Between 2 and 4 p.m. (if you leave your child at the camp)

CHECK OUT SCHEDULES IN SUMMER CAMPS: up to 2 p.m. (if you pick up your child at the camp).

VISIT SCHEDULES ON PARENTS DAY (only in 14 days programs, on the middle Sunday): Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Important: if your child is attending a 14 days program, there’s a “Parents Day” in the middle Sunday. On this day, all guardians must sign a consent for the departure of their children. Children may leave the Summer Camp in the company of anyone other than the parents or guardian, just and only upon written authorization.

What will they learn?

At the Summer Camp we have our very own philosophy and we try to show and pass the cultural values in which we believe to our kids. It’s extremely important to continue to implement the values you teach your kids at home and at school when they are outside their known environment.

Following the rules is essential, and as soon as they enter our facilities they will feel how we live at the Summer Camp. We breath professionalism and we know how important it is to have new experiences at these early stages of life. Learning to share, be kind, to overcome their fears is always an important part of our activities.

​Facilities

We provide to all their clients a unique atmosphere. The overnight stay is at our privately owned chalet with more than 100 years of history. When arriving, participants will be installed in their rooms, being split according with group/school, sex and age. We have rooms with capacity from 2 to 9 participants.

Where and What do they eat?

Our menus are delicious, homemade, freash and allow choice. We are highly concerned about your children meals, encouraging them to eat and try new dishes, if so they wish. In case your child needs specific nutritional care by medical indication, inform us in advance so we can serve your child according to its needs.

Health & Insurance

Accidents Insurance covers all participants in all cases of accidents that may occur during activities, but not in a disease problem (like flu, for example). Therefore, we advise all participants to bring their European Health Card or Insurance Health Card with them.

The Camp has a first aid office, open 24h/day. Our monitors are certified with a first aid course, so for superficial and small accidents they take action in place. When something more serious happens, participants are taken to the Medical Clinic at Kandersteg (open 24h/day), and from there, when needed, to Frutigen Hospital (15min by car from the Camp).

How to contact your child
