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.
