Location of the Senior Adventure Camp: Chalet Jolimont, Les Diaglerets. Close to the main Junior Chalet.

Les Diablerets: Located in the Swiss Alps, Les Diablerets is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Campers enjoy the unique opportunity to bike, hike and participate in thrilling sports in a breathtaking setting. Ski resort in winter and in summer full of things to do!

An alpine experience in comfort: Campers at Chalet Budokan discover a spacious chalet with 4, 6 and 8 bed rooms with a skatepark and indoor cinema.

For Swiss participants, the meeting point for all the different sessions of the camps is at Lausanne Train Station. From Lausanne, transport is organized to the departure of the camp. Another meeting point will be organized from Geneva airport for international participants (included in the price). It is also possible to bring the participant directly at our chalets in Les Diablerets.

We offer this camp in 2 versions, one for 8 – 13 year olds (activities adapted to needs) and the other for 13 – 17 year olds (The Senior Multi-Adventure and Leadership Camp). The participants will all be in 2 different chalets but some activities will take place in the same locations.

This program is designed to foster the development of technical and soft skills through a series of activities, workshops, and hands-on leadership opportunities. We believe in bringing together an international community, which is why the languages spoken at the camp are French and English, which is what we have seen from our past experience and the huge benefit of mixing Francophones and Anglophones and learning from both groups.

Learn more about the SENIOR MULTI-ADVENTURE AND Leadership Program (13 – 17 years old)

Our Program of Activities evolves every year to stay fresh, exciting, and meaningful. We continuously improve the schedule, introduce new experiences, and refine our workshops based on feedback from campers and families.

100% FUN. 0% WIFI. 🌲✨ At Young Explorers Club we paint walls, catch fish, build fires, pump up paddleboards and pedal through the Alps — all in one unforgettable week. From graffiti art to lake-side smiles, every photo is a tiny story of courage, curiosity and friendship. We watched a shy camper try spray paint for the first time 🎨, a team rally to pump and launch a board together 🛶, and a rookie angler beam after their first catch 🐟. Our cooks (yes — real camp chefs!) teach patience and taste, while our hikes and bike trips across Swiss trails build grit, language skills and confidence. Why kids love it here: - Hands-on skills: firecraft, fishing, paddling, mountain biking 🚴‍♂️ - Team growth: leadership, cooperation, problem-solving 🤝 - Bilingual, international friends: practice French & English naturally 🌍 - Safe, guided adventures: trained leaders, small groups, real outdoor learning 🧭 Want the full 2026 camps & trips guide?

We just traded Wi‑Fi for cowbells — and it was the best decision ever 🐮⛰️ At Young Explorers Club we hike past Swiss cows, race on meadow trails, and challenge each other on crazy mini‑golf courses under the Alps.

🏔️ No Wi‑Fi. 100% FUN. 0% boredom. We traded screens for steep ridges, rock scrambles and waterfall breaks — and never looked back. Sun on our faces, backpacks on, laughter on repeat. From the sunny alpine crest to the shady forest tunnel, we cheered each other up the trail, learned to read a map, practiced safe climbing moves and shared snacks in three languages. 🌲🥾🌞 Why kids love Young Explorers Club: • Teamwork on the ridge — someone always lends a hand. 🤝 • Confidence-building challenges — tiny steps = big pride. 💪 • Real skills: navigation, camp craft, bike trips across the Alps, and outdoor safety. 🗺️🚲 • An international, bilingual vibe — practice English & French while making friends from everywhere. 🌍 • Tech‑free days that spark real connection and curiosity. 100% memories, 0% Wi‑Fi.

Narrow ledges, roaring waterfalls, paint-stained hands — THIS is how memories are made. 🧗‍♂️💦🎨 At Young Explorers Club we spent the day clipped into via ferrata lines, edging along cliff faces, and cheering each other across tight mountain passages. Helmets on, harnesses clicked, smiles wide. Safety first — courage follows. 🪢🪨 Inside, the same kids who dared the waterfall explored color and stories in our hands-on workshops. Teamwork, focus, creativity — all unplugged (100% FUN, 0% WIFI). 🌲✨ What they learn: - Trust & teamwork on exposed routes - Balance, route-reading & outdoor problem-solving - Confidence through challenge + calm in nature - Creative expression and international friendships (EN/FR + many more!) 🌍🤝 Why kids love it: it’s real adventure, real friends, and real growth — in the heart of the Swiss Alps. 🏔️ Want our 2026 trips & camps guide?
