Holiday Camps

About: Our holiday camps for kids and teens are designed to be a fun, educational activity that complements the school curriculum. Working with wood has numerous benefits for modern children:

  • It encourages creativity and problem-solving

  • It teaches valuable manual skills, from measuring to using hand & power tools

  • It promotes patience and perseverance

  • And, above all, it is a lot of fun!

From planning to building, it’s a comprehensive learning experience. 

How it works: On day one, the children all start with the same simple project. Over the course of the week, they are gradually introduced to new tools and concepts, shifting to designing their own projects with the instructors' support. They are also encouraged to undertake increasingly challenging projects. Everything the children make goes home with them at the end of the week.

Age limit: 8-15 years old

Schedule:

  • 08h30 - 09h00 Drop-off

  • 09h00 - 12h00 Morning crafting (incl. snack break)

  • 12h00 - 13h00 Lunch (not provided)

  • 13h00 - 14h00 Outdoor activity

  • 14h00 - 17h00 Afternoon crafting  (incl. snack break)

  • 17h00 - 17h30 Pick-up

Please note: on Friday, we welcome parents at 16h45 PM to an exhibition of the projects your children have been working on, where they can explain the process, what they've learned and why they chose that particular project. Please remember to bring a large bag to collect their project.

We offer a 15% discount for siblings and return bookings in the same camp period. The discount code is sent automatically after the first booking. Please note that this code is not to be shared with others and may only be used for the child or their sibling.

Upon request, children booked for a half-day camp can arrive early/stay late for lunch for an additional fee of 15 chf/day.

Day registrations available. For more info, see the bottom of this page.

Activities for kids & teens

Apart from holiday camps, we also offer year-round opportunities for kids and teens to learn woodcraft.

From 2-hour discovery sessions all the way to a one-year commitment, our  packages are designed for flexibility.

You can also celebrate your child's birthday at the workshop!

Camp fees for partial bookings

We apply a surcharge to partial bookings to account for the fact that they limit our ability to accommodate full bookings (given our low child-to-instructor ratio):

  • 4 days: +10%

  • 3 days: +15%

  • 2 days: +20%

  • 1 day: +25%

 

Send us an email if you want to proceed with a partial booking.
