Overview
The Altitude Camp is an international summer camp in Switzerland offering the feeling of a home away from home. Kids develop new skills and confidence in a safe environment. Daily outdoor adventures and optional English language lessons will encourage your children to build friendships across different nationalities with fellow campers from all around the world. Your kids will learn important life skills lasting well beyond their summer of fun providing them with life memories. Choosing from a residential camp or a day camp, kids have a huge range of activities in Switzerland. Our summer camps are designed with an international audience in mind, offering language campers regular English language lessons and immersion. All language lessons are taught by our Native speakers. Alternatively, mountain adventure campers will explore the natural environment that Switzerland offers, working on teamwork, and leadership and enjoying the fresh mountain environment. The rest of the day for all campers is a varied program of sports, creative activities, and excursions to inspire and delight the campers. Activities are designed to be engaging and natural, feeling less like a classroom environment. We aim to make the most of the local community and environment to build confidence. Our residential summer camps allow kids of 7-14 to join an adventure in the alps they’ll never forget! Living with new friends of different nationalities, they’ll make new memories whilst developing self-confidence and independence away from the family home. Our highly trained and experienced team ensure children are settled and supported throughout their time at summer camp, creating a home from home atmosphere from day one. Our Verbier day camps are a fantastic way for kids to experience camp life whilst on holiday with family. Kids of 3-5 can join our morning Marmot sessions to introduce them gently to the wonder of the outdoors. 6-14 year olds can get involved with morning mountain adventure activities or English lessons. In the afternoon they combine with the rest of the group to play sports, do creative activities and make friends with their fellow campers.
