Teen Girl Summer Experience

---

July 18-22, 2022

9.30 - 4.30pm (varied times and evening meet ups)

(Grade 8-11)

This is not your usual camp where you get spoon fed activities and are led by instructors. This is an empowerment, teamwork and leadership camp where teen girls gain real experience in creating, organising, strategising, communicating, budgeting, leading and performing in a group. 

We have a group of teen girls (age 14-17) coming from Power4Teens, Toronto, Canada to Switzerland for the week. We are looking for teens living in Switzerland to join, help, lead, create and design a week of exciting activities around Zug, Luzern, Zurich and further afield working alongside group leaders. Teens will learn from the empowerment and leadership talks from Power4Teens for a truly intimate and empowering growth experience while getting outdoors and being active. This is an exciting adventurous 1 week experience including boating, wakeboarding (if desired), SUP, hiking, city visits, chocolate factories and real bonding. 

Teens in Switzerland will be involved in collaborating with camp leaders in designing, planning, budgeting and co-ordinating the group for the week. We would be looking for teens who have some interest in communication, teamwork, leadership and ideally involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Our international programs to Thailand (2023) and Nepal (2024) are underway and we are looking for future team leaders abroad and camp counsellors to assist in Toronto. This could be a great opportunity to connect with the Power4Teens group and open doors to future camp counselling and leadership opportunities. Without a doubt, girls will leave this week having a greater understanding of who they are, what they want, what motivates them and their actions and how they want to interact with the world and move through it in a calmer more proactive way.

Check out what the Canadian based power4teens is all about and join this incredible group in Switzerland and future overseas projects.

To have an even better more fulfilling experience why not host a Toronto teen from Power4Teens Canada  and help show a new foreign friend what Switzerland and global moves have to offer. We have received video interviews from our Canadian counterparts from Power4Teens and match girls (and their families) based on personality and interests. We provide an opportunity for host families to meet the Canadian family and student on zoom before hosting. This provides a great growth experience for teens and their families.
