From what age can I send my child to a summer camp ?

There is no age for sending your child on a summer camp! We work with specialised partners that host very young children (from 3 years old), and other organisations that only host teenagers (14-17 years old).

Our advice for a first camp experience :

  • A successful first stay will encourage the desire to renew the experience the following year.
  • Opt for a short course of one or two weeks.
  • Choose a camp with less intensive lessons or none. There will always be an opportunity to increase the number of course hours for future experiences.
  • If your child feels anxious about the idea of leaving home, try to find a friend or sibling to go with them.

Aurélie sent her 7-year-old son to do his first camp in Switzerland. He initially signed up for just one week but liked it so much that he ended up staying a fortnight !
