SILC Academy is a premium summer camp provider offering boutique summer camp experiences in Switzerland and France, welcoming students aged 11–17 from around the world. Our programs build leadership and essential 21st-century skills through hands-on workshops and outdoor adventures in the Swiss Alps or along the French Riviera, creating a summer experience to remember.
Each SILC program blends outdoor exploration, teamwork, and hands-on learning that build confidence, creativity, and essential 21st-century skills. Students learn by doing — discovering how to lead, communicate, and collaborate while experiencing some of Europe’s most stunning locations.
Gstaad Summer Leadership Camp (Switzerland) Set in the Swiss Alps, this camp teaches leadership through action, not lectures. Students take part in glacier expeditions, river rafting, mountain hikes, and team challenges that build confidence, resilience, and cooperation. Every day is an opportunity to learn by doing — developing practical leadership skills in an unforgettable alpine environment.
Creative & Entrepreneurial Camp (South of France) A two-week program that encourages innovation and self-expression. Students engage in creative workshops, outdoor activities, and cultural excursions along the French Riviera. By the end of the camp, each student presents a personal project they’ve developed, showcasing their ideas and growth to their peers.
Swiss Teen Summit (Crans-Montana, Switzerland) Designed for students aged 14–17, this two-week experience combines entrepreneurial workshops with adventurous outdoor activities. It brings together young leaders from around the world to think creatively, collaborate across cultures, and gain confidence through shared challenges and exploration in the Swiss Alps.
Sea & Island Adventure (Corsica, France) A unique island experience aboard a catamaran — one for male students and another for females. Over two weeks, participants explore the coastline of Corsica, docking to enjoy land and sea activities such as snorkeling, hiking, and island exploration. It’s not a sailing course, but a journey that builds independence, teamwork, and real-life skills through shared adventure.
All SILC programs are led by a dedicated camp manager and professional trainers who work with SILC Academy year-round during school camps. All staff members hold required safeguarding and first-aid certifications, ensuring a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for every student.
