Best Summer Camps in Switzerland and Europe

“Amazing Summer Experience! My daughter (17 years old) had an unforgettable two weeks with Young Explorers Club — biking through the Alps and camping at Budoken. two weeks of pure adventure, growth, and joy! The Bike Through the Alps week was breathtaking. She came back stronger, more confident, and full of stories about stunning trails, supportive guides, and the thrill of conquering new terrain. It was the perfect blend of challenge and fun.”

“This is the best camp in Switzerland!! Real adventure and amazing places for the kids to explore!”

“Thank you so much for making this summer camp possible! Our children returned home full of new experiences and excitement—strengthened, grown, and with many wonderful memories that will stay with them for a long time. A very special thank you goes to Dominique, who lovingly comforted our children when things got difficult and always informed us when something happened. This gave us a great sense of security and was a great support for the children.”

“My sons had the BEST time of their lives at Ylung Explorer Camp! From the moment they arrived, it was non-stop adventure. They made tons of new friends, gained confidence, and genuinely didn’t want to leave they were begging to stay longer! As a parent, it was amazing to see them so energized, happy, and challenged in all the right ways. The staff were fantastic, super friendly, and clearly passionate about giving kids a summer they’ll never forget. If you’re even thinking about sending your kids here DO IT. Worth every penny. We’re already signing up for next summer!”

“Nature, diversity, and adventure are what define this summer camp. Many of the parents agreed with us that most of the negative comments about this campus are due to some parents' inability to properly educate their children, leading them to become very dependent on their parents. It's a bit ironic that these same parents take their children to a place where they learn to be self-sufficient and yet still criticize, unaware that their child would have received a better education here than at home.”

“I'm really happy with everything my son told me about his experience at the Young Explorer Club. He loved the campsite and told me the food was very good. He told me the via ferrata was amazing; he had a great time climbing and admiring the view. He told me the instructors are all very friendly, but that Wally is special because he's very close to the children and always attentive to them. My son told me that Wally helped them a lot and that thanks to him, everything was more fun and safer. When they got home, they were very happy. My son explained to me that this experience really helped him become more responsible and better organized because they are very strict with schedules, but it's good for them. He also told me that soccer was incredible, that Wally organized a tournament they loved, and that he scored a decisive goal, which he's very proud of. We would definitely do it again because it was a really positive experience and my son is already asking me not to miss it next year.”

“We booked the camp for our niece and nephew this summer, and they came back full of stories and smiles. Every day was packed with exciting activities — from learning climbing techniques to exploring scenic trails on mountain bikes. They also made new friends and enjoyed the friendly, supportive atmosphere. It was great to see them so engaged and active, and we’re already planning to send them again next year.”

“This year I took my kids there and they absolutely loved it. They got to try a wide variety of activities such as via ferrata, mountain biking, and climbing, among many others. They really enjoyed every single moment and had so much fun throughout the whole experience. The staff were great, everything was well organized, and it’s a place I’d happily recommend to any family.”

“This camp is absolutely amazing for young children! They offer a wide variety of activities, always giving kids the freedom to choose what they enjoy most. The highlights are definitely mountain biking and climbing — both done with all the necessary equipment and led by highly qualified instructors. All the children of my friends, as well as my own, have loved the experience and had an unforgettable time here. If your kids enjoy the outdoors, sports, and mountain adventures, this is the perfect camp for them!”

“This summer, our child attended a fantastic camp! He discovered new activities, made lots of friends, and had days full of adventures. The counselors created a joyful atmosphere that encouraged laughter. He came back happy and eager to return next year.”
