Sports summer camps in Zurich

Summer is almost here and all parents are wondering which activities they should enroll their young ones in!

We scouted the region along with the most requested sports camps on Momizen and created a list for the sporty kids and those who want to explore sports during their holidays.  The summer camps will not only free-up the hands of parents after the closing of schools in the Zurich region, but, above all, will help children have an unforgettable summer full of educational experiences, new friends and endless play!

Through games and physical exercises, a child develops strength, speed, flexibility and endurance while achieving motor development and proper neuromuscular coordination.  Children who play sports develop self-confidence and improved social skills. Sports and athletic activities reinforce principles such as discipline, cooperation, noble rivalry, acceptance of defeat, all while sharpening the spirit.  Children also learn to communicate effectively with others and at the same time they have fun. Sports also improve a child’s self-esteem.  

Our list is categorized by sport and will be updated regulary with more activities that are offered as summer time approaches.   For STEM camps or creative activities we will be updating our blog with a separate list.
