Our Team And Collaborators

The highest level of safety:


The staff team is the heart and soul of who we are and what we do. They are more than just instructors – they are role models, mentors, and friends to our students. Because we don’t take this responsibility lightly, we have a rigorous and selective hiring process.

Passionate EDUCATORS


At Young Explorers Club, our team is made up of passionate educators, outdoor adventurers, and youth leaders who share one goal: to help every young explorer grow through unforgettable experiences.

From mountain guides and sports coaches to language teachers and camp coordinators, each member of our team brings unique expertise, energy, and care to create a safe, fun, and inspiring environment. We believe that real learning happens when curiosity meets adventure — whether it’s on a bike trail through the Alps, around a campfire, or during a teamwork challenge in nature.

OUR STAFF, COLLABORATORS AND GUIDES


Our hiking guides and outdoor educators are the key ingredient to our success at Young Explorers Club. Although we all come from different backgrounds, we all share a passion for adventure and sharing experiences with others to create memories that last a lifetime. Our team understands the importance of professionalism, caring, and risk management.

Some of our guides were youth participants themselves before moving on to their roles, while others were selected for the backgrounds and experiences they have with youth and in the outside environment. Many of our outdoor educators work off-season jobs as teachers, naturalists, counselors, or other youth-focused professions.

Our instructors have

  • Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician
  • J+S Ski Instructor
  • J+S Climbingb Instructor
  • J+S Alpine Ski Instructor
  • CAS Mountain Guide Instructor
  • PSIA Child Specialist
  • ACA Whitewater Rescue
  • Eagle Scout Behavioral First Responder

Summer Camp Health & Safety:

Who takes care of your children at camp?


An excellent average ratio of 1:5 between counselors and children on each camp and program ensures effective supervision, great attention and supervision for all young campers. Advisors are responsible for direct supervision.

During each activity, all preventive safety measures are in place and strictly followed. At least 1 out of 2 Young Explorers Club instructors must be fully certified in CPR and First Aid. In addition, at all campsites, full-time health care specialists are responsible for the health of campers. They are responsible for first aid, organizing and distributing medications, liaising with local doctors and hospitals if necessary, and keeping all records relating to any illness or accident.

Hospitals are always accessible by car. In the rare case of illness or accident, parents are called at the earliest opportunity and updated with full information about the steps taken to help the child. At each location, there is a full fire drill for all staff and campers.

As a company based in Switzerland, we will closely update the policies in accordance with the required standards put in place by the Youth Protection Service (SPJ) and the relevant local authorities.
