For schools

School trips, project weeks and snow sports camps

Extracurricular learning

School camps provide the ideal setting for conveying curricular content in a special way. Spending time together away from the classroom creates a new sense of community and fosters social skills. Cohesion within the class is reinforced, while the mutual trust between students and teachers is enhanced.

We offer comfortable accommodation, first-class facilities and numerous interesting options for school trips and school camps.
Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do – at Swiss Youth Hostels, you’ll find the right place with unbeatable value for money.
