the classroom in nature
Environmental education camps turn nature into a classroom. Students experience ecological connections firsthand, learn about species and habitats, and actively contribute to nature conservation through their work. While tending meadows, building habitats, or discovering rare animals, knowledge comes to life, team spirit is strengthened, and responsibility is learned. Days spent outdoors are not only educational but also adventurous and full of shared experiences—spend a few days in nature in Switzerland's most beautiful nature reserves.
