Summer Camp 2025: What happens when teens interview a Hollywood star?

Imagine being 12 years old, sitting next to your friend, and chatting live with a Hollywood actor—while thousands of people around the world are watching. Sounds unreal? Well, it actually happened at our summer camp this year!

 

One of our young participants had a live conversation, and a couple of others had a chance to talk with Hollywood actor and comedian Jason Stuart (Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, among others). These extraordinary opportunities were part of our Radio M workshop, led by our alumnus and well-known US radio mentor/broadcaster Cary Harrison. Under Cary’s guidance, our kids learned how to speak confidently, ask meaningful questions, discuss a topic and communicate clearly. When it was time to go live, they were not only prepared- they radiated confidence.

But that wasn’t the only highlight of our Summer Camp 2025.

From July 13 to 26, kids from countries such as Lithuania, Ukraine, Croatia, United States, China joined us on our beautiful Zugerberg campus for two exciting weeks. Mornings were spent in English or German language classes and afternoons were filled with creative workshops and fun outdoor activities. Our Summer Camp was so popular that some participants returned for the second time. One kid even came back to join for the third time!

In addition to outdoor activities such as tennis, dodgeball, badminton, our kids took part in hands-on projects such as science experiments and ice cream making. This year, they also went on multiple fun excursions, exploring Switzerland’s famous mountains and lakes in Lucerne, as well as natural attractions like Seilpark Rigi. They also had  a great time at Alpamare Waterpark, Tempodrom's Go-karting, the Swiss Museum of Transportation, and the Aesbach Chocolate factory.

Evenings brought more fun and relaxation: a spa night, cozy sleepover sessions, lively barbecue dinners. The whole two weeks culminated in our grand farewell celebration, where the kids shared performances, watched video highlights, and received awards—all in front of a cheering community.

Our Summer Camp is more than just fun. It’s where young people build confidence, discover their talents, and connect with others from around the world. The Hollywood interview was just one incredible moment in a summer full of learning, laughter, and discovery. We are excited to see what unforgettable experiences next year will bring!
