Holiday camps 2025 delivering an unforgettable summer in Switzerland

The OSA Youth Service summer camp schedule for young people aged 15 to 18

Attending a holiday camp in Switzerland means experiencing the majestic Alps, making friends with fellow young Swiss Abroad from around the world, and discovering Swiss culture. From hiking, to swimming in crystal-clear lakes, to spending evenings around the campfire – every day is a unique adventure.

Conceived and organised by the Youth Service of the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA), our camps offer young people the opportunity to connect with their Swiss roots and enjoy a formative, unforgettable time. A summer in Switzerland is the perfect opportunity to have fun and make memories for life. Here is an overview of our holiday camps in 2025, which are geared to young people aged 15 and older:

• 5–18 July 2025: Swiss Challenge, throughout Switzerland 

• 19 July–2 August 2025: Sport and leisure camp, including Swiss National Day celebrations, in Sainte-Croix (canton of Vaud)

• 2–15 August 2025: Sport and leisure camp in Sainte-Croix (canton of Vaud)

In addition to our holiday camps in 2025, webinars addressing the issues at stake in upcoming federal popular votes will also be available throughout the year. These webinars are aimed specifically, but not exclusively, at young Swiss Abroad.
