Safe Alpine Adventures
All camp activities are organised according to strict safety guidelines and supervised by experienced educators.
Adventure is an integral part of life at La Garenne. Our international summer programme includes exciting activities across all age groups, combining learning and personal growth within a safe and structured environment.
Younger campers experience the joy of exploration through nature walks and gentle hikes – for many, it is their first encounter with an alpine landscape.
As they grow older, adventure becomes more dynamic – rafting, mountain biking, expeditions and other challenges that build courage, teamwork, and resilience. Teenagers take it further, joining advanced outdoor pursuits which test leadership and confidence.
These activities differ for each age group but share the same purpose: helping children connect with nature, discover their strengths, and enjoy the thrill of new experiences. Every student learns to trust themselves, collaborate with others, and appreciate the majestic beauty that surrounds our Swiss campus.
For some activities, such as Lake Camp or Juventus Football, some ability is required. So if you want to do the extra Lake activities, you must be able to swim at least at intermediate level. Same for soccer – you must have basic football skills. All other adrenaline activities require no previous experience.
So, if you are looking for an outdoor summer camp experience, you will find it built into La Garenne’s world‑class programme, where learning, exploration, and adventure go hand in hand.
