More about this camp

My Mountain Adventure is an outdoor adventure camp in the Swiss Alps, in the Gstaad region, for campers aged 8 to 13. It is built around the mountains and the outdoors rather than classroom study. Programme and activities. The camp focuses on outdoor adventure — leaving the classroom behind, as the provider puts it, and immersing campers in the alpine environment. It suits a child who wants to be active and outside rather than in lessons. Families seeking English or French tuition as the core should look at the language camps elsewhere in this catalogue. Accommodation. Campers stay in comfortable, shared accommodation with access to modern facilities, in the Gstaad area. Families should confirm room arrangements and, for a younger child, the supervision setup, as the detail here is limited. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts children aged 8 to 13 — genuinely junior, so a young child is not sharing with older teenagers. One session is currently listed, beginning in mid-June; families should confirm whether other dates are available, since a single listed session may not reflect the full season. Location and travel. The camp is in the Gstaad region of the Bernese Oberland, in the Swiss Alps. Geneva and Zurich are both usable arrival airports, with onward travel. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families wanting an outdoor, adventure-led experience in the Swiss Alps for a younger child aged 8 to 13, rather than a language course. Parents of the youngest should confirm the supervision arrangements, and families should confirm the full set of dates before booking, as the published information is limited.
