WHY our FAMILY CAMPS ARE Unique?

  • At Young Explorers Club, our Family Camps are designed for families who want to share real adventures together, disconnect from daily routines, and create meaningful memories in the outdoors.
  • Many holidays separate parents and children into different activities. Our family camps are about doing things together — overcoming challenges, celebrating achievements, and creating shared memories. We take care of everything.
  • These are not classic holidays — they are active, immersive experiences where parents and children explore, learn, and grow side by side, surrounded by nature and guided by experienced outdoor professionals.
  • Based in Switzerland, our family camps combine adventure, comfort, safety, and flexibility, in an international and bilingual (English–French) environment.
