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.

Aims of the camp weeks

  • Experience nature with all your senses: discover real nature work, biodiversity and ecological relationships

  • Working together: strengthening team spirit, perseverance and self-efficacy

  • Unleashing creativity and talents, gaining new experiences

  • Taking responsibility and developing options for action for a more nature-conscious everyday life

  • Holistic learning: combining input, excursions and reflection with practice and knowledge

  • Professionally accompanied by experienced environmental experts
