A boutique alpine summer camp run by Verbier International School on its own campus in Verbier, Switzerland, for boarding campers aged 10 to 17. The camp deliberately stays small — 35 to 40 campers per week — so groups are small and every camper is known by name. A typical week mixes adventure (an overnight expedition, the Verbier zipline, canyoning, tree climbing, water sports and mini golf), growth (leadership workshops, debating, public speaking and sports coaching) and culture (a UN Geneva tour, international evenings, a UNESCO heritage glacier visit and cultural excursions beyond Verbier). Boarders stay at Chalet Flore, a former four-star hotel a short walk from the main ski lift, in en-suite rooms with private balconies and mountain views.

About the Course
Mornings bring workshops; the rest of the week mixes adventure, leadership and culture. The programme is built for a cohort of 35 to 40 campers so that groups stay small, staff know every child by name and nothing is scaled back to manage logistics.
What’s Included
The fee covers full board and accommodation, all adventure activities, equipment, cultural excursions, morning workshops, laundry facilities, 24/7 supervision by school staff and Geneva airport transfers on the official arrival and departure dates and times. A non-refundable registration fee is charged separately, and optional extras — a photo pack, pocket money and private lessons — can be added on the enrolment form.
Accommodation
Boarders stay at Chalet Flore, a former four-star hotel 210 metres from the main ski lift in the heart of Verbier. Most rooms are double with an en-suite bathroom and private balconies with mountain views; there are also a few single and triple rooms. The house is supervised around the clock by school staff.
Meal Plan
Full board is included in the camp fee and served at the camp, with meals provided on activity and excursion days.
Activities & Excursions
Adventure: an overnight expedition, the Verbier zipline — the highest in Europe — canyoning, tree climbing, the Splash Boat, banana boat, Xtream Park surfing and mini golf. Growth: leadership workshops, debating, public speaking and sports coaching. Culture: a UN Geneva tour, international evenings, a UNESCO heritage glacier visit and cultural excursions beyond Verbier. The final programme is set on the ground and may shift with conditions.
Facilities
The camp runs on the campus of Verbier International School, with the Chalet Flore boarding house nearby, a health centre with a nurse on duty around the clock and laundry facilities for campers.
Camp Experience
Most camps in Verbier host two to three hundred children at a time; this one hosts 35 to 40. That means every camper is known by name, supported individually and never lost in a crowd, with the experience tailored to each child's confidence, pace and goals.

Mornings bring workshops; the rest of the week mixes adventure, leadership and culture. Campers take part in an overnight expedition, the Verbier zipline, canyoning, tree climbing and water activities, work on leadership, debating, public speaking and sports coaching, and discover Switzerland through a UN Geneva tour, a UNESCO heritage glacier visit, international evenings and cultural excursions. The school notes that the activities listed are those of a typical week and that the final programme is set on the ground and may shift with conditions.
Mornings are dedicated to workshops covering leadership, debating, public speaking and sports coaching. With a total cohort of 35 to 40 campers, groups remain small, every child is known by name and supported individually, and nothing is scaled back. The rest of the week is filled with adventure, culture and excursions rather than traditional classroom lessons.
Adventure, leadership and culture in the Swiss Alps for a small cohort: morning workshops, outdoor activities in and around Verbier, and cultural excursions, with 24/7 supervision by school staff.
