sunny plateau on which Verbier is located guarantees an exceptional climate in both winter and summer. Our two buildings, one for boys and one for girls, located next to the Sports Centre, allow us to offer charm and comfort to our young guests.
During the summer, from June to August, we offer 2, 3 or 4-week sessions. Students from 6 to 17 years old are fully immersed in an international environment and can participate in language courses, numerous outdoor activities, sports and excursions in Verbier or in the region. We offer more than 40 different activities such as climbing, mountain biking, hanging trails, wakeboarding, paragliding, basketball, walking, swimming, ice skating, tennis, golf, horse riding and more! To satisfy the many children who return each year, we offer new activities each summer such as E-Bike, Zorb football, Touch Rugby, Surfing, Skydiving, Zip-Line among others.
The winter camps run from the beginning of December to the end of April. Les Elfes offers different sessions, usually of 1 and 2 weeks for girls and boys aged 6 to 17. Our students can combine winter sports (skiing and snowboarding) with activities such as excursions or Après Ski games. Language courses are also available as an option. Skiing and snowboarding lessons are given by qualified instructors.
Les Elfes launched a new camp! Les Elfes International offers 2 x 1-week autumn camps. Outdoor activities such as climbing, hanging trail, mountain biking or hiking to name a few, will be complemented by leadership and speaking workshops.
Each year we host some 5000 students from over 70 different countries. Our camp is also a fantastic tool for raising your child's environmental awareness and responsibility. We develop activities such as the study of the Ecosystem, sustainable development or tree planting. Each year we introduce new personal enrichment workshops into our programmes, some examples of which are: Leadership, Career Guidance, Mountain, Fitness and Nutrition, First Aid Training and Etiquette.
In addition, we provide our campers with a solid foundation for personal development by involving them in conferences and various team-building activities.
Safety is the most important element for the Elfes. From wake-up to bedtime, during and after activities, children are under the constant supervision of our staff to ensure maximum enjoyment in a safe environment.
At Les Elfes, we offer adventure activities based on safe and well established professional practices! In addition, we encourage children to develop personally and explore their own identity. We are pleased to see that the weeks spent on our campus help students discover their true potential, improve their self-confidence and help them identify their strengths! There is a lot that can be taught outside the classroom!
Day camps
Throughout the year, the Elfes also offer full-day camps from 8 am to 10 pm for children aged 6 to 17. Campers who are already staying in the resort or in the region are dropped off at the camp in the morning, ready to take ski/snowboard lessons (in winter) or language lessons (in summer) and participate in outdoor activities. The programme includes meals, optional afternoon activities, team games, campfires, etc.
We will be happy to welcome your children as day campers or as residential campers! Please contact us for more details.

You'll get the true SoCal experience of surfing, boogie boarding, and jumping waves on our very own beach. Then learn some skateboarding skills at our on-site skate park. Camp Surf is perfect for all skill levels! Combine these with traditional camp activities including archery, climbing tower, teambuilding, campfires, cookouts, and crafts. Two-week teen programs head off-site on short bike excursions and an overnight surf and camping trip to San Onofre State Park.
Our staff are committed to working with children and teens to help them develop the skills and relationships they will need to be confident, healthy, and connected as they grow. Camp Surf adds laughter, leadership, and lifelong memories to a host of activities. While the ocean is certainly a big draw and part of camp, we are not strictly a surf camp. The value and benefits of the YMCA Camp Surf experience extends far beyond that. Campers will develop strong friendships, spend great time outdoors, develop social skills, feel a sense of belonging, and exhibit increased confidence. Thank you for choosing Camp Surf!
