Summer Camp + Juventus Soccer in Switzerland

Football at Summer Camp

How does the Juventus Soccer Programme Work?

La Garenne’s Juventus partnership at Summer Camp is much more than football practice. It combines structured coaching, physical activity and personal development within a fun and international environment where children can improve both on and off the pitch. Unlike many dedicated soccer camps, La Garenne integrates football into a complete educational programme that encourages teamwork, independence and cultural exchange.

During the Juventus programme, campers have four evening sessions during which they train, learn and socialise with students from around the world. The combination of football, languages, outdoor adventures and community life creates a unique experience that helps young players develop confidence while enjoying every aspect of camp life.
