SILC Academy offers adventure summer camps in Gstaad and Laussane that are based on their leadership programs for students 7-17 years old.

Depending on the location, daily activities might consist of water rafting, alpine hiking, a Glacier expedition, ferrata climbing, zip-lining, and more. Practical skills such as first-aid, crafts, media production, outdoor training, and team challenges are led by expert facilitators.

The programs focus on helping students acquire global skills, such as leadership, communications, entrepreneurship, and goal setting.

Kids at SILC practice and improve their skills during a fun-filled schedule rather than in classroom settings. All outdoor activities, workshops, and teamwork sessions take place in the glorious and scenic Swiss countryside and Swiss Alps.

SILC also offers winter and spring break camps while their 1 to 3 week international summer camps take place in June and July. Camps can be attended daily or in residence.
