01 / 08 · About the trip
Watch before you book
Our Senior Adventure Camp is the club’s camp for teenagers aged 13 to 17. The group lives in Chalet Jolimont, right in the centre of Les Diablerets, with the freedom older campers like and our team beside them all week.
The days are full of mountain adventure: a via ferrata, a mountain bike descent, a glacier hike or a caving expedition the group plans itself, a lake day building boats, a river raft challenge and a night camping under the stars. In the evenings: time in the village, Senior Challenges and a bonfire.
02 / 08 · Day by day
Two weeks of camp, day by day. Each day has a morning adventure and an afternoon activity, often with a choice of two or three, and evenings bring free time in the village and the Senior Challenges.
The second week brings new activities almost every day, so a teen who stays longer repeats very little. Plans adapt to the weather.

The group arrives at Chalet Jolimont, in the centre of Les Diablerets, and meets the crew. The welcome programme starts at once: games, teams and the first challenges.

03 / 08 · Trip in depth details
The price includes all costs of the participant during the camp period, i.e. all public or private transport during the camp, food, accommodation costs, and any common group equipment (tents and any other equipment related to the activities, harness and climbing equipment).
Everything to bring is on our material list.
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.
Location of the Senior Adventure Camp: Chalet Jolimont, Les Diablerets. 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!
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.
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.
To see the most up-to-date and detailed program, please refer to the Brochure, which outlines the full weekly schedule, activity options, and special highlights for the upcoming summer.
Yes. Most of our participants stay for two weeks or more, so the activities change every week: a child who stays several weeks does something new each week rather than the same programme again. The day-by-day programme on this page shows one typical week.
Holistic Development: Our camp focuses on the physical, social, and personal growth of each camper, creating fulfilled individuals.
Safety first: The safety of our campers is our top priority. We maintain high safety standards throughout all activities, ensuring a worry-free experience for parents.
Fun & Friendship: Our camp fosters a sense of camaraderie, creating an environment where lasting friendships are made.
We believe in human-to-human interaction: write to us via our contact methods (https://youngexplorersclub.ch/contact/) and schedule a call or meeting with one of our employees.
We will be happy to answer any doubts or questions you may have.
04 / 08 · Where we stay
The Seniors Camp takes place in our secondary chalet in Les Diablerets, Chalet Jolimont. Right at the center of the village, it allows the freedom Seniors campers like.

06 / 08 · A week built for teenagers
The Senior camp has its own chalet, Chalet Jolimont, in the centre of Les Diablerets, and its own programme, made for 13 to 17 year olds.
06 / 08 · 0% WiFi, 100% adventure and fun!
Leave the phone at home — you won’t miss it. Our camps are proudly tech-free, because the best moments of summer don’t happen on a screen. No scrolling, no group chats, no “just five more minutes.” Instead: real conversations, real friendships, and a week of adventures you’ll actually remember. Parents, don’t worry — you can reach our team 24/7, we run a dedicated call day, and we post daily photos so you can follow the adventure from home.
06 / 08 · Bilingual and international: camp in English and French
The Young Explorers Club summer camp welcomes international and Swiss participants in a bilingual, multicultural environment. Our activities take place mainly in English, but French is also integrated, enabling all children to feel included.
Our team speaks multiple languages (English, French, German and others), creating a supportive environment, whether your child is fluent in English or is just starting to learn it.
07 / 08 · What families say
Amazing Summer Experience!
My daughter (17 years old) had an unforgettable two weeks with Young Explorers Club — biking through the Alps and camping at Budoken. two weeks of pure adventure, growth, and joy! The Bike Through the Alps week was breathtaking. She came back stronger, more confident, and full of stories about stunning trails, supportive guides, and the thrill of conquering new terrain. It was the perfect blend of challenge and fun.
This is the best camp in Switzerland!! Real adventure and amazing places for the kids to explore!
vielen Dank, dass Sie dieses Sommercamp ermöglichen! Unsere Kinder sind voller neuer Eindrücke und Begeisterung nach Hause gekommen – gestärkt, gewachsen und mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen, die sie noch lange begleiten werden.
Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön gilt Dominique, die unsere Kinder liebevoll getröstet hat, wenn es einmal schwierig war, und uns stets informiert hat, wenn etwas gewesen ist. Das hat uns sehr viel Sicherheit gegeben und war für die Kinder ein großer Halt.
My sons had the BEST time of their lives at Ylung Explorer Camp!
From the moment they arrived, it was non-stop adventure. They made tons of new friends, gained confidence, and genuinely didn’t want to leave they were begging to stay longer! As a parent, it was amazing to see them so energized, happy, and challenged in all the right ways. The staff were fantastic, super friendly, and clearly passionate about giving kids a summer they’ll never forget.
If you’re even thinking about sending your kids here DO IT. Worth every penny. We’re already signing up for next summer!
Nature, diversity, and adventure are what define this summer camp. Many of the parents agreed with us that most of the negative comments about this campus are due to some parents' inability to properly educate their children, leading them to become very dependent on their parents. It's a bit ironic that these same parents take their children to a place where they learn to be self-sufficient and yet still criticize, unaware that their child would have received a better education here than at home.
Je suis super content de tout ce que mon fils m’a raconté sur son expérience au Young Explorer Club. Il a adoré le camping et il m’a dit que la nourriture était très bonne. Il m’a raconté que la via ferrata, c’était génial, il s’est bien amusé à grimper et à admirer la vue.
Il m’a dit que les moniteurs sont tous très sympas, mais que Wally est spécial parce qu’il est très proche des enfants et toujours attentif à eux. Mon fils m’a dit que Wally les a beaucoup aidés et que grâce à lui tout était plus fun et sûr.
Quand ils sont rentrés à la maison ils étaient très contents. Mon fils m’a expliqué que cette expérience l’a beaucoup aidé à devenir plus responsable et à mieux s’organiser parce qu’ils sont très stricts avec les horaires, mais ça leur fait du bien.
Il m’a aussi raconté que le foot c’était incroyable, que Wally a organisé un tournoi qu’ils ont adoré et qu’il a marqué un but décisif dont il est très fier.
Sans aucun doute on referait l’expérience parce que c’est super positif et mon fils me demande déjà de ne pas rater ça l’année prochaine.
