The FYSA summer season was another great success

We welcomed a total of 356 children and teenagers from 45 different countries to our ten summer holiday camps. The intense heatwave that greeted the start of the summer transitioned into heavy downpours by the end of the season. But there was fun and laughter throughout – rain or shine.

Camps took place across the entire country, with our “Swiss Trips” in particular clocking up the miles. We visited 12 cantons in three language regions – and certainly a few more en route – during the summer.

The “international evening” is one of the highlights of every camp, celebrating not only Switzerland itself but also the participants’ countries of origin. Our young people made posters showing interesting details of the places they live. They also presented snacks from home to their fellow campers, ranging from sweet to salty to spicy. Bon appétit!
