Unforgetabble camp experience for our daughter

April 09, 2025by: Nilseane Silva - PortugalProgram: Smash Limits, Serve Confidence: Your Summer with PTI
10

Our daughter spent two weeks at the PTI summer camp in Austria; honestly, it was everything we hoped for and more. The location is stunning, surrounded by forests and lakes, and the atmosphere was peaceful and inspiring. It felt like a place where kids could breathe and be themselves. She came back glowing from the tennis (which she loved) and the overall experience. She talked nonstop about the forest laser games, kayaking, the campfire evenings, and even the ice baths! But what stood out was how much she grew. She’s more confident and independent and has even started using some of the mindset techniques she learned when dealing with school stress. The team was kind and attentive and cared deeply about every child’s experience. We felt supported from the start, and we communicated well throughout. It wasn’t just a fun summer but a real turning point for her. We couldn’t be happier.

A Guide to Adventure Travel Abroad in Switzerland

Locations

Switzerland is a republic that is independent from the surrounding European Union, with 26 cantons sprawled out across its mountain landscape in the Alps. The country is bordered by France to the west, Germany to the north, Austria to the east, and Italy to the south; hence the most widely spoken languages in the country are French, German, and Italian. The southern reaches of Switzerland are more mountainous, and therefore less densely populated than the south.

The country’s two major cities, Geneva and Zurich, are both very popular destinations to visit during adventure travel in Switzerland. Zurich, capital of the German-speaking Zurich canton, is the largest city in Switzerland and a major global financial center. Geneva, where French is the dominant language, is Switzerland’s second-largest city and widely known for headquartering a breadth of international organizations, including the United Nations and Red Cross.

Both of these two major cities sit on lakes of their own namesake (Lake Geneva and Lake Zurich), and are also within easy travel of more remote destinations where you might go for outdoor activities during your adventure travel in Switzerland. Other popular destinations across the countryside include Bern, Lucerne, and Interlaken.
