***

⏰ What are the ideal times to arrive at camp?

We recommend arrivals and departures be organised between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.

This ensures your child arrives when most participants have already arrived and can fully benefit from the beginning of their camp experience.

Arriving outside this time frame may be subject to additional transportation fees.

***

*� What if my child is travelling alone?

If your child is travelling alone and is below 15 or 16 years old (depending on the airline), they may travel using the airline’s Unaccompanied Minor Service (UM Service). Airlines usually require additional information from our end.

If you are interested in this service, please inform us and your personal concierge will assist you directly.

Generally, students above 15 or 16 years old can travel independently without a UM Service.

***

*� Do you provide a packing list before camp?

Yes. All families receive a dedicated Welcome Pack, which includes a packing list outlining all required items students need to bring to camp.

***

*� Are students divided into groups for activities?

Many activities are done together as one camp community.

In some instances, students may be divided into smaller age-appropriate groups for specific activities.

Generally speaking, we ensure that all students enjoy this unique adventure together.

***

*�️ Can my child and their friends share a room?

Absolutely. Your child and their friends can share a room together.

We strive to meet family preferences regarding room arrangements. Students may only share a room with others of the same gender.

While we understand the desire for friends or siblings to room together, for a richer international experience we strongly encourage students to share with new friends from different parts of the world.

Rest assured, students are always placed with someone in the same age group.

We recommend approximately €100 or CHF 100 per week.
