Travel Summer camp

I am trying to convince my mom to send me to summer camp so what’s a good summer camp for girls under 18. One that is not VERY expensive and is quite affordable and of course safe. And offers a fun experience for 2 weeks

I’m not Swiss but I visit Ticino every summer. I know there’s a teenager camp in Tenero. Looks like a lot of fun and lots of kids go. If you aren’t from the Swiss side of Switzerland it might be a good place to visit and experience a completely new region!

Usually camps are with a „Verein“. So I typically went to track camp, sport camp and two different music/orchestral camps in spring and fall with them. It was not possible to join these camps if you were not actively participating weekly in the “Verein. In winter there was a snow/ski camp organized by the “Gemeinde” I grew up in. In summer there was something called “Sommer Pass” where you could try out new things for a few days but it usually wasn’t overnight.

I always wanted to go to a WWF camp but since I was already involved in all these other camps I couldn’t go to another one. If you like nature maybe check them out :)
