 Achieving excellence together!
Le Rosey Aventures is offering a unique camp reserved for around ten fit and adventurous young people.
A camp adventure week followed by a week's offshore ocean navigation. |
| The camp combines a mountain adventure week. |
 The group will: |
 Discover trails in the Bernese Alps |
|
| climb summits |
|
| cross glaciers |
|
| learn how to overcome multiple challenges |
|
| learn autonomy away from home. |
| |
| |
|
| Teamwork will be a key focus as the group share the daily routine of setting up and taking down their camp, and, at the same time, learn about themselves and each other. The programme has been formed to incorporate theory which is then put into practice on the ground. Campers will overnight in tents or in mountain refuges and will be given the responsibility of preparing their own meals as their week unfolds amid some spectacular scenery in the heart of the Swiss Alps. |
