The Youth Service has a new registration process – places to be allocated by lot

Each person may only register once per camp. However, it is possible to register for more than one camp at the same time – albeit we will then ensure that no child participates in more than one camp per year. Ultimately, we want as many children as possible to enjoy our camps.

The registration phase will be open for 24 hours: from 10 a.m. on 13 January 2026 (Swiss time) to 10 a.m. on 14 January 2026. After you submit the registration form for any camp, you will receive an email confirming participation in the random allocation process. Camp participants will then be chosen by lot at the end of the registration phase. Once this procedure has finished, you will receive an email telling you whether a place has been allocated and, if so, for which camp; or whether the person is on the waiting list. If a child is drawn for more than one camp, they will be notified by email. The child can then choose to participate in one of the camps. The Youth Service must be informed of the child’s decision within 24 hours. We will definitively confirm the child’s attendance at their chosen camp thereafter.

If places are still available after the allocation process, there will be an additional registration phase from 2 p.m. on 14 January 2026 (Swiss time) to 15 March 2026, working on a first-come, first-served basis. Further information on all youth offers is available at www.revue.link/youthoffers. For additional details, please do not hesitate to contact the Youth Service.

Holiday camps in 2026 – summer adventures in Switzerland

A summer camp in Switzerland is the perfect opportunity to enjoy adventures and Swiss culture in the great outdoors. Amid an Alpine setting, our young campers will spend an unforgettable, action-packed few days of interaction and exploration – from hiking, to swimming, to gathering around the campfire.

Organised by the OSA Youth Service, our 2026 camps are for young people aged 15 or older, offering them the chance to strengthen their own Swiss roots and make lifelong friendships. Here are our holiday camps at a glance:

• 4 – 17 July 2026: Sport and leisure camp in St Stephan (canton of Berne)
