FAMILY/GROUP DISCOUNTS: In order to promote the camp to more families (who might also share our values), we are able to offer a 10% discount on all bookings if they join a friend or family member. This means that if you register two or more participants, each of those registrations will be 10% cheaper.

For all participants, the meeting point for all the different sessions of the camp is at Geneva Airport, where the group will flight together to Gibraltar Airport. Transport will also be arranged from there.

We offer this camp for 12* – 17 year olds (itinerary and activities adapted to needs). 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.


*Under 12? At our discretion, and if participants are particularly fit and motivated, we allow age exceptions. Please contact us for more information.

Our Program of Activities and itineraries evolves every year to stay fresh, exciting, and meaningful. We continuously improve the schedule, introduce new experiences, and refine our itineraries based on feedback from campers and families. In 2026 we have designed 3 different itineraries completly new from last year. They include exciting activities and amazing landscapes.
