For example the commune of Vevey offers a range of activities known as passeport vacances Commune websites are a good place to start looking for these Things to consider when deciding are logistics: where are the camps Can you drop your children off on your way to work and collect them on your way home Involving your child in researching and choosing a camp can help ensure you select the right one Find out what a typical day will be like and see if that fits with your routine both you and your kids will know what to expect For those in Geneva, a trip to see Geneva’s Jet d’eau up close could be an interesting way to cool down on a hot summer’s day If you live near Bern and have older children who are strong swimmers you might consider a dip in the Aare river And if you are tempted by soccer camps, dates, locations and prices of InterSoccer camps can be found here.
