Our Philosophy

Our club offers a chance to set aside the competitive demands of school life. To slow down, open up and explore. And in doing so, discover who you are. Our members often say they feel more alive, more connected, and more themselves in our multiple camps and weekly activities.

Together, our activities inside and outside the camp are aimed at achieving our primary goal of creating caring, thoughtful, and responsible human beings. We realize that each individual is unique and special in their own way and our program is designed to guide each person to their own greater potential.

We enjoy the moments of beauty, fascination, and wonder that nature offers, as we explore the surrounding forest and mountains of Switzerland. The rustic environment of the camp is full of surprises, constantly regaling us with new sensations and encounters. Camp is a life immersed in the natural world.

These incredibly important skills are used in everything from assembling puzzles to figuring out the best route to work. It is the process of using focus and self-control to solve problems and set and follow goals. It uses other important life skills such as bonding, perspective taking, and communication. Basically, critical thinking helps us make good, informed decisions.

We encourage you to compare our camps and trips with other programs. We review every camp and trip after each summer so that our participants get the most out of every experience. Our programs offer a wide range of activities in spectacular scenery, in the Swiss Alps and beyond.

With a support team and the outdoors as a teacher, students learn to dig deep to find greater compassion for each other and push the boundaries of what they thought they could do. At the club, teens and adults embark on a journey measured not just in kilometres of mountain, river and lake, but in personal growth.

In all of our camps and programs, our participants venture off the beaten path, go to places and do things that most people can only dream of. As a team, we have spent years building close relationships with local and global organizations and communities to ensure that every camp and trip, in Switzerland or abroad, our participants engage in truly intimate and authentic encounters with the people, cultures and places they visit.

Instead of competition, we value enthusiastic cooperation, friendly communication and playful participation. The camp’s positive community creates a magic where children feel safe, supported and valued.
