If you’re seeking truly exceptional summer camps in Switzerland to recommend to your clients, the Young Explorers Club offers an outstanding and unique proposition for families looking for more than just a holiday. Based in Lausanne and active across French-speaking Switzerland and beyond, our programme is designed to ignite the adventurous spirit of young people aged 8 to 18. With a bilingual (English and French) and international setting, our summer camps combine outdoor learning, cultural immersion, and personal development in a safe and enriching environment.

Why Choose the Young Explorers Club?

The Young Explorers Club stands out among summer camps in Switzerland thanks to our deep commitment to meaningful, small-group wilderness experiences. Our aim is to nurture environmental awareness, build strong character, and provide a life-changing summer for every child. Since our founding in 2020, we have successfully welcomed young adventurers to join our transformative programmes, whether for one week or several.

We work exclusively with small groups to ensure every camper is known, supported, and challenged in a caring, familial atmosphere. This allows us to tailor experiences to each child’s needs while fostering a real sense of community—something large-scale camps often struggle to achieve.

Programmes Built for Growth and Adventure

Our teen outdoor adventure programmes are built around exploration and learning in the wild. Activities include:

• Hiking and camping in breathtaking alpine landscapes

• Kayaking and canoeing across serene Swiss lakes

• Rock climbing, mountain biking, rafting, and team-building challenges

• Group-led initiatives and wilderness survival skills

Our camps are also technology-free zones—intentionally designed to help young people reconnect with nature, with each other, and with themselves. Through shared challenges and teamwork, they learn invaluable life lessons in responsibility, resilience, and respect.

Language and Cultural Immersion

Unlike most summer camps in Switzerland, our programmes are intentionally bilingual. Participants benefit from:

• Daily practice in both English and French, taught through activity-based learning

• Confidence-building communication, using new languages in real, dynamic settings

• Cultural exchange, with students from a wide range of nationalities

• An international environment that mirrors real-world global collaboration

This immersive experience strengthens not only language skills, but also cultural awareness and interpersonal development.

Safety Comes First

We take pride in our reputation for exceptional risk management. “Safety, safety, safety” is more than a motto—it is the foundation of every programme we run. Our staff are fully trained in outdoor education, first aid, and youth safeguarding. Every aspect of our operations, from transport logistics to expedition planning, is reviewed to minimise risk and ensure peace of mind for both parents and partners.

The Outcomes That Matter

Our agents tell us they recommend the Young Explorers Club not just because it ticks all the boxes of a great summer camp, but because it delivers real, lasting results. Participants leave our camps with:

• Increased self-confidence and independence

• Leadership and problem-solving experience

• Greater environmental and cultural awareness

• Stronger communication and social skills

• Lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories
