Another meeting point will be organized from Geneva airport for international participants.
Transport will also be arranged from there.

We offer this camp in 2 versions, one for 8 – 12 year olds (activities adapted to needs) and the other for 13 – 16 year olds.
The participants will all be in the same chalet but some activities will take place differently.
For participants aged 15 to 18, we offer our innovative, youth-friendly leadership program, offering a unique blend of camp participation and a specialized program.
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.
