Summer Camps

As a child, there is nothing better than to spend the whole day out and about with other children, having adventures out in the open air while learning new things at the same time. And this is precisely what they can do in the Destination Gstaad. There are three institutions that offer educational summer camps for children and teens.

MS Sports Camps

Children and young people throughout Switzerland should be able to spend their school holidays in a meaningful and enriching way – full of fun and physical activity. At the same time, we aim to provide some relief for parents, which is why MS Sports organises more than 400 sports camps every year.

Since MS Sports was founded in 2007, over 170,000 children and young people have already taken part in our camps. Whether it’s football, horse riding, dance, racket sports, skiing, snowboarding, biking (also in Schönried), multisports, outdoor activities or even Gaming & Sport, kids at MS Sports enjoy a fantastic experience filled with new friendships, movement, fun and unforgettable days—all centred around sport.
