Camps are happening this spring all around Zurich, and we have a list of our favourites!

Kids in Switzerland enjoy a number of school holidays throughout the year. 

Autumn, winter, spring and summer holidays, along with Christmas, Easter and the various Canton holidays that offer long weekends to escape the daily routine.  After a snowy winter the Spring holidays are just around the corner.  And while the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine is very optimistic for future travel, it is still not easy to move within and outside of Europe as easily as we used to. Being in Switzerland we are lucky to. enjoy the Swiss countryside a healthy and beautiful setting for families and kids to enjoy their time together, and there are many places to discover on Momizen.com. 

Throughout the week it is not always so easy to be in the mountains and for the parents who will be staying in the city during the weekdays of the school break, we have curated a list of camps that can provide a fun and educational time for kids, half or full-day.  They offer a great opportunity to deepen an existing skill or learn something new. 

Keep in mind that requirements for open spaces due to Covid-19 apply and available places are limited.
