Les Elfes, established in 1987, is a family-run business with
over 30 years’ experience in providing safe, challenging
and educational experiences for young people. Our camps
are nestled in the Swiss Alps and the variety of mountains,
forests, lakes and open spaces offer a playground for outdoor
adventures.

For each different age group, we have specially designed
courses so that our new campers can find a challening
programme packed with outdoor activities and our returning
campers can develop their skills and continue to progress
both personally and linguistically each summer.

Discovery Camp (6–10 yrs)
At Les Elfes we know our youngest Elves need plenty of extra
care and attention. When they come to us it is often their
first time away from home and a big experience meeting new
people, trying new activities and even eating new foods. Our
dedicated Discovery staff offer sensitive guidance and clear
structure so our youngest campers can enjoy a programme
packed with fun and challenges to suit even our sportiest
of little ones.

with specially designed sessions and programs for our
youngest ones (page 12).

Explorer Camp (11–14 yrs)
Our Explorer programme offers a chance for our campers to
experience all of the adventures the Alps have to offer. Full of
challenges our Explorer programme invites our campers to be
creative, daring and independent. With adventures from start
to finish campers can step out of their comfort zone, push their
boundaries and make new friendships with peers from around
the world.

Pioneer Camp (15–17yrs)
A truly exhilarating programme which challenges our eldest
campers to push their boundaries. Our Pioneers are a vibrant
and energetic group of teenagers, many of whom are preparing
for being away from home in a couple of years at university or
college. Les Elfes is a valuable step for many of our campers to
gain confidence in becoming independent young adults.
