From mastering outdoor survival techniques to fostering teamwork and resilience, here’s a glimpse into what campers learn during their time with us.

Outdoor Survival Skills

One of the highlights of Altitude Summer Camps is our focus on outdoor adventure and exploration. In the surrounding nature of the Swiss Alps, campers learn essential survival skills such as building shelters, starting fires, and navigating the wilderness. These hands-on experiences not only teach campers how to thrive in nature but also instil a sense of confidence that carries over into everyday life.

Teamwork and Collaboration

In the camp environment, teamwork is key to success. Through a variety of group activities and challenges, campers learn to communicate effectively, problem-solve together, and support one another. Whether they’re working together to complete a high ropes course, arts and crafts build or in teams sports, campers develop valuable teamwork skills that are essential for success in school, work, and beyond.

Resilience and Adaptability

Life at camp is full of surprises, from unexpected weather changes to new and unfamiliar experiences. Campers learn to adapt to changing circumstances, overcome obstacles, and bounce back from setbacks. Whether they’re braving a challenging hike or facing their fears on the climbing wall, campers develop resilience and grit that serve them well in all areas of life.

Independence and Self-Discovery

Perhaps most importantly, camp is a place for campers to discover who they are and what they’re capable of. Away from the familiar comforts of home, campers learn to navigate new challenges, make their own decisions, and forge their own path. Camp provides a safe and supportive environment for campers to explore their interests, develop their passions, and discover their true potential.
