Switzerland's boarding-school heritage extends year-round, with residential camps running through the summer holidays and into the ski season across the Alps and around its lakes. Locations range from cosmopolitan bases in Lausanne, Zürich and Versoix near Geneva to mountain resorts such as Verbier, Villars, Crans-Montana and Zuoz, many attached to established international schools.
Programs typically pair language learning in English, French or German with an active daily schedule — skiing and snowboarding in winter, hiking, watersports and team sports in summer — giving children a structured, supervised environment away from home along with new friendships and a taste of independence.
