What makes our summer language and adventure camps different?

Bushcraft Camps Methodology

Our language classes are engaging and interactive. Children at the camp will acquire knowledge through play. The tailored language lessons will be applied in various activities such as movies, theater performances, and more. In the afternoons, various sports activities are organized with children from diverse backgrounds. All interactions and activities are conducted in English, fostering a strong reinforcement of the language skills introduced during the morning sessions.

Our camps are located in an adventure lover’s paradise. The Saas-Fee valley offers an ideal setting for campers to acquire survival skills, engage in rock climbing, zip lining, and various multi-sport activities. Nestled in the stunning Swiss Alps, this unique location will immerse our campers in a pristine natural environment, surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the Alps. It serves as the perfect retreat from the fast-paced daily life, allowing campers to reconnect with nature and their surroundings.

Saas-Fee stands out as a car-free town, offering our campers a distinctive opportunity to experience freedom in a secure environment. Here, campers can freely explore local shops and stroll around town during their leisure time, all while being supervised yet enjoying an independent lifestyle. Moreover, Saas-Fee boasts pleasant summer temperatures. The evenings are comfortably cool for sleeping, while the daytime temperatures are warm enough for campers to wear shorts and partake in water activities.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter recently attended a day at Bushcraft Camps in Saas Fee. She spent the morning with an incredible instructor who took the group into the woods to learn about tying knots & how to erect a tent. My daughter enjoyed this experience very much & both she & I were disappointed she couldn't attend any further days. Each day is a different, well curated experience all based in and around the local nature. I also saw a friend who's daughter joined the group for older children & she also had a positive experience. The instructors were helpful & attentive when I had queries & when I provided details of my daughters allergies. I felt very comfortable & confident leaving her with them (she is 5 year's old) Lastly, my daughter met a girl within her group with whom she made an instant connection so that was an added bonus for us! Thank you team Bushcraft Camps! We'll definitely be attending next year!
