SwissCommunity The 2024 holiday camp season was a summer of joy and adventure For the children and teenagers attending the holiday camps run by the Foundation for Young Swiss Abroad (FYSA) and the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA), summer 2024 was unforgettable. After a rainy start, participants between the ages of eight and 18 enjoyed bright sunshine and warm weather for the remainder of their time in the beautiful Swiss countryside. For more information on future activities and offers for young Swiss Abroad, visit www.swisscommunity.org and www.sjas.ch. The FYSA hosted a total of nine camps for children, while the OSA Youth Service ran four summer camps for teenagers. The camps took place at various locations in Switzerland, including St Gallen, Locarno, Montreux, Lausanne and Lucerne as well as many smaller, picturesque localities (as shown on our website). It is fair to say that this year’s FYSA and OSA Youth Service summer camps were a great success, not only offering participants the opportunity to discover their home country and make new friends, but also creating valuable memories that will last a lifetime.
