Discover the Winter Camp Program:

Monday – Planes & Zurich Airport

Get ready to soar through the skies! Today, young aviators will explore the world of airplanes: how they fly, why they zoom so fast, and what makes them stay up in the air. Campers will become mini engineers, designing and building their very own gliders and testing whose plane can fly the farthest! The adventure continues as we take a trip to the Zurich Airport Observation Deck, where we can watch real airplanes take off and land right before our eyes.

Will your glider fly higher than the real planes? Let’s find out!

Tuesday – Blast Off! Mission to Mars & FocusTerra

3…2…1… BLAST OFF! Today we launch into the incredible world of space. Campers will become astronauts and intergalactic explorers as we discover rockets, UFOs, planets, and stars. Everyone will design their own rockets and learn about how astronauts travel to space. Then, the adventure continues at FocusTerra at ETH Zurich, where kids will explore real meteorites, Mars-like rocks, and volcanoes, discovering what makes planets and moons so exciting.
Finally, we will embark on our imaginative mission to Mars, solving space challenges and exploring a “red planet” full of surprises.

Wednesday – Birds of the Sky & Zoological Museum

Today, we become bird detectives! From tiny sparrows to majestic eagles, campers will learn how birds fly, hunt, and build nests. We’ll observe feathers, wings, and different types of beaks, then head to the Zoological Museum, and discover birds from various continents. After finding out ALL the fascinating facts about our feathered friends, campers will create their own bird art and “fly” their imaginations, designing bird masks to take home.

Thursday – Clouds & Ice & Dolder Ice Skating Rink

What are clouds made of? How does rain fall, and why do snowflakes sparkle? Today, campers will explore the secrets of the sky, learning all about clouds, weather, and how they shape the world. Then, it’s time for a frosty adventure at the Dolder Ice Skating Rink, where campers can glide, twirl, and skate like the clouds themselves. It’s a day full of science, movement, and winter magic—don’t forget your warmest hat and mittens!

Friday – Superhero Sky Adventures & Piratolino

It’s the grand finale of our Fly in the Sky week! Today, campers become sky superheroes, learning how to jump, run, and soar to save the day. Through games, obstacle courses, and imaginative challenges, every child discovers their own superpowers. The adventure peaks with a trip to Piratolino, where kids can climb, slide, and explore like daring heroes in an indoor playground full of surprises. By the end of the day, everyone will feel brave, bold, and ready to conquer the skies!
