Holiday courses
Holiday painting courses for children in Switzerland
Colours, imagination & lots of fun - the most creative holiday courses for young artists
Colourful holidays in Switzerland
Boredom on holiday? Not with us! In our holiday painting courses for children, they can paint, blot, draw and try out whatever they like. Whether summer painting courses for children or creative adventures in the autumn and spring holidays - here little artists can let off steam to their heart's content.
The children learn different techniques and materials in a playful way: Acrylic, watercolour, drawing, clay, pastel, collage, ceramics and more. Sometimes free, sometimes guided - always creative and child-orientated.
Our holiday camp is designed for children aged 6 to 12. Depending on the activity and group size, we make sure that every child receives age-appropriate support.
We combine art, movement, nature & community - creative, relaxed and full of discoveries. No pressure to perform, no boredom - just space for real experimentation and personal development.

Depending on the offer, additional activities such as excursions, museum visits, explorations in nature or weather-dependent indoor options such as cinema or group games can also be part of the programme.
Sample schedule of a holiday camp
A holiday camp can, for example, run on weekdays over a period of two weeks - with a daily supervision time of around 8.45 am to 5.15 pm and a group size of between 4 and 16 children.
