Lugano's camps sit on the lake in Italian-speaking Ticino — residential programmes where Mediterranean-feeling summers, watersports and mountain excursions meet Swiss supervision standards.
Families choose Lugano for a gentler take on the Swiss camp: palm trees and lake swimming instead of glaciers, with Milan an hour away and three national languages in everyday earshot.
