Who is a school camp house suitable for?

School camp houses are specifically designed for the needs of school classes and groups. They are particularly suitable for:

- primary, secondary and high schools
- class trips and project weeks
- sports and activity camps
- music camps and rehearsal weeks
- groups of 20 to 80 people

Many properties offer flexible room layouts as well as plenty of space for lessons, leisure activities and group events. Accommodation with common rooms, large dining areas and outdoor spaces is especially popular for school trips.

What makes a good school camp house?

Depending on the season and programme, the requirements for a school camp house may vary. Particularly important are:

- shared bedrooms for pupils
- separate rooms for teachers
- common rooms for lessons and games
- well-equipped self-catering kitchens
- large dining areas for the whole group
- safe surroundings and outdoor space

Many school camps take place in self-catering houses, as meals can be organised flexibly and cost-effectively. Camp houses in natural surroundings or mountain regions with direct access to hiking trails, sports facilities or winter sports areas are especially popular.

Popular regions for school camps in Switzerland

Many regions in Switzerland are ideal for school camps. Particularly popular are:

- Graubünden – ideal for summer and winter sports camps
- Valais – mountain regions with many outdoor activities
- Bern and the Bernese Oberland – popular for nature and activity camps
- Central Switzerland – easy to reach and versatile
- Ticino – ideal for camps with a Mediterranean climate

School camp accommodation in Graubünden, Bern and Valais is especially popular with school classes, as many properties are located directly in mountain and winter sports regions. For winter sports weeks, accommodation for ski camps in the Swiss Alps is particularly suitable.

Tips for planning a school camp

Planning a school camp early makes the organisation much easier. The following points should be considered in advance:

- book accommodation as early as possible
- define a budget for accommodation, meals and activities
- determine group size and room allocation
- plan activities and excursions
- organise travel by public transport or coach

Popular houses are often fully booked several months in advance, especially during the winter and summer seasons. Many schools book their school camps 6 to 12 months ahead.
