This is mainly down to the cur- rent leap year and consequently shorter holiday season for our volunteer camp leaders as well as our decision not to offer any camps of a duration of less than ten days. We intend to start hosting winter camps again in the 2022–23 winter season. YOUTH SERVICE OF THE ORGANISATION OF THE SWISS ABROAD (OSA) FOUNDATION FOR YOUNG SWISS ABROAD (FYSA) OSA news
