Our STEM & Robotics Camp offers an exciting opportunity for campers to learn, build, and program robots while enhancing their skills in coding, engineering, and teamwork. Suitable for all experience levels, this engaging programme encourages creativity and innovation through structured lessons and hands-on projects. During the first week, participants explore key robotics concepts through interactive lessons and guided projects using Lego and other cutting-edge platforms. As they advance, campers apply their knowledge to design and program their own custom robots. The experience culminates in an exciting "Robot Wars" competition, where campers showcase their creations in a thrilling battle of skill and strategy. Join us this summer and experience the perfect blend of technology, creativity, and fun in the breathtaking Swiss Alps!
This programmes covers:
The Engineering design process
How to design & build structurally sound robots
LEGO Education SPIKE robotic kits
Gearing ratios and other engineering concepts
Controlling robot responses through sensors and programming
Decision making structures
Team building and problem solving strategies
Our Robotics Programme is accessible to any skill level from beginners to the very experienced.
The role of the counselours team is to set the challenges and provide the required information to ensure that the young participants are equipped to develop the skills required in this increasingly technical world. This is an exciting, rewarding and super fun way of learning and working together.
All the robotic material, blocks, gears, motors, sensors, computers, iPad and software are supplied by Village Camps and will remain at camp.
Accommodation, Excursions & Activities
Campers stay at the Village Camps owned and managed Swiss Alpine Centre. The centre has spacious, mainly en-suite bedrooms for 3-4 campers as well as lounges and recreational areas and impressive dining facilities. The campus is well situated just above the main village and close to its excellent sport and leisure facilities.
The excursion highlights include a day trip to visit Salzburg, a trek to Sigmund Thun Klam Gorge and a visit to the Welten Museum.
There is a variety of afternoon and evening activities both in camp and outdoors, which campers from all programmes participate together. These all camp activities are organised and supervised by Village Camps counsellors.
Further details on the excursions and on the activities available at the Austria camp can be found on the Austria Overview Page.
Tennis Add-on CHF 650.-
*Not available during 3rd session, and not available at all for campers booking the Adventure Camp or LTC
Choose from the available specialty programme and combine it with professional tennis instruction from VC’s top coach, Christine Suard! This additional option allows those that are passionate for tennis to combine their language, art, or multi-sports morning programme with qualified afternoon tennis instruction.
Our highly qualified head-coach has developed a fantastic and innovative tennis programme which has three different categories from beginners to highly trained club players. We wanted to give the opportunity to all campers regardless of programme (Adventure excluded) to opt for an additional 3 hours of tennis instruction in the afternoons!
In the evenings, campers join their peers who have been on afternoon activities for engaging evening programmes which will, at times incorporate the whole camp and other times be age group dependent.
