SILC Academy

The SILC Academy hosts leadership adventure camps in the scenic city of Lausanne near Lake Geneva and in the Gstaad Valley, Switzerland. Within these beautiful Swiss locations, your children can spend anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks doing everything from canyoning, mountain biking, surfing, zip-lining, whitewater rafting, and hiking.

SILC Academy welcomes international students ages 7 to 17 to stay at its various campuses. Camp staff will be readily available and situated on each floor, which are separated by gender. Here, students will step out of their comfort zone while experiencing some of the best outdoor experiences that Switzerland has to offer.

The camps are all-inclusive, which means that all the exciting camp activities, leadership workshops, challenges, nutritious and carefully catered meals, and equipment are included throughout the experience. Each day consists of a different leadership topic from goal setting and communication to teamwork and habit building. The daily modules will then be implemented into a full day's worth of exciting activities!

The program in Lausanne contains 3 sessions of 2 weeks each, while Gstaad contains a 1-week, 2-week, or 3-week option. They also provide a one-week winter camp experience in the scenic Gstaad Valley during the December winter break.
