Develop skills, attitudes, and memories to lost a lifetime

The Young Explorers Club was created with a very simple mission: to foster environmental stewardship, teach responsible recreation, and provide opportunities for personal growth by facilitating impactful wilderness experiences.

Our goals for our youth program are to use the natural environment and outdoor activities to teach participants the skills and attitudes needed to lead successful lives.

Not a typical commercial camp

Through expert risk management and adventure-based programming, our team helps encourage participants to improve their self-esteem and confidence. In addition to creating lasting memories, our goal is for participants to end their adventures with a better knowledge of themselves, the world, and the environment around them.

An essential part of our program is also focused on creating a sense of community, creating friendships between participants, and sharing fun moments!

our story

Born out of the ambition to break down cultural and language barriers, we have evolved to become a leader in the organization of international summer camps. Our programs are designed to encourage young people to step out of their comfort zone, experience new cultures, and make international connections, forging memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

Founded in 2018, 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.
