New Year in the snow with the SJAS
24.04.2026 – Raya Keller, SJAS
The SJAS winter holiday camp took place some time ago, and we’re still talking about it. Our participants made new friends, played games in the evening and had fun on the slopes – whether improving their skiing or snowboarding, or starting from scratch.
Anyone who wants to attend the next winter holiday camp in Valbella or at the JUSKILA youth camp in Lenk can now secure their place: bookings have started for the 2026/2027 winter season, when we look forward to welcoming new and familiar faces from around the world.
Our combined training course, which weaves the Youth+Sport leadership training and the Youth+Sport camp leader course into a single programme, took place at the beginning of April, with 18 prospective leaders and four lead instructors taking part. In mixed small groups, the participants benefited from a brainstorming session in which they drew on their own experiences to plan a holiday camp. A two-day excursion, coupled with the participants’ shared journey, reinforced the sense of togetherness. Swiss Abroad, individuals performing civilian service, and other camp leaders came together to make the course an international, multilingual event.
The SJAS is hosting an online information event from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on 4 June 2026 for parents whose children have not yet participated in an SJAS camp.
We will start by giving a brief presentation about the holiday camps, after which we will be happy to take your questions. The meeting will be in English and recorded. There is no need to sign up for it.
