Summary
Football training every morning and mountain adventures every afternoon, for children aged 9 to 13 in a chalet in Les Diablerets.
The Football Academy is Young Explorers Club's football week for children aged 9 to 13, at Chalet Budokan in Les Diablerets in the Vaud Alps. Every morning is football training with our coaches, on a new theme each day.
In the afternoon the players join the multisports programme and pick one of three or four activities: lake days, hikes, climbing, workshops and more. It suits young players of every level who also want a real summer camp.

Price a week: CHF 1,480 for international participants and CHF 1,180 for Swiss residents (week of 4 July: CHF 1,570 / 1,250).

More about Young Explorers Club
Young Explorers Club has run summer camps in Switzerland since 2018, from its base in Lausanne. Children and teenagers aged 9 to 17 spend one week or several in the Swiss Alps: in two chalets in Les Diablerets, or on travel camps by bike and on foot.
Camps run in English and French with campers from more than 30 countries and about one leader for five children. Every staff member is over 18 and provides a police record extract, and paid leaders hold Swiss Jeunesse+Sport (J+S) qualifications.
Phones are kept safe during the day, so the week is lived rather than filmed, and the programme changes from week to week for children who stay longer.
