Our Philosophy
unique growth that goes beyond fun
Safety, safety, safety!
Explore & Travel Safely
Our participants and instructors know that these are our three most important words. Risk management is at the heart of everything we do.
A top down supervision of activities
From the moment your child leaves home until they come back to you, minimizing that risk is our top priority. We use multiple managers to always double check our activities.
An amazing ration of staff
We have one of the best rations in the industry with 1 staff per 4 students.
Our objectives:
Young Explorers Club is more than just a summer camp for teenagers. Our Outdoor Adventure Programs help kids learn skills to succeed in the future. While our students are having the time of their lives rafting, climbing, hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, and canoeing in some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet, something else is happening.
They grow in many ways: self-confidence, social success, teamwork, leadership, and new outdoor skills, to name a few.
Our BEGINNINGS:
Founded in 2020, Young Explorers Club has earned a reputation as one of the most accessible organizations in the field of outdoor adventure in Switzerland. With a summer program for youngsters in French-speaking Switzerland, our first year with more than 20 young people on a mountain trip was a success. Now, after hundreds of activities and trips organized, we have created memorable, life-changing outdoor experiences for students in Switzerland and beyond.
We focus on creating outdoor and growth-oriented adventure camps for our participants. We are intentionally a small business. Long-term relationships are important to us and we see ourselves more like family than a business. Our commitment to creating a close-knit community is what sets us apart. The size of our larger group gives us unique flexibility to optimize youth experiences and ensures that youth truly get to know everyone during their trip, including the instructors. Plus, our trips are technology-free, so students learn how to “survive” (and even thrive!) without electronics. We emphasize shared responsibility and a culture of caring, so that everyone can grow and enjoy a positive, click-free and respectful social environment.
Our Values, Results and Progress
In addition to a fun adventure summer camp, we strive to learn our 8 great results through adventure, immersion in an outdoor environment, and interaction with great models. Our focus on using close-knit community and fun and challenging outdoor activities makes the Young Explorers Club the perfect place to enhance those skills needed to thrive in the 21st century:
