Bern, Switzerland's capital, sits above the Aare river next to a medieval old town, and hosts camps running through both the summer and winter holidays. Programs based here span a broad range — tennis, football, climbing and watersports like rafting and stand-up paddling in summer, skiing, snowboarding and cross-country in winter — plus cultural trips and survival-skills days, making it a fit for families wanting one camp that adapts across seasons rather than a single specialty.
