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.

What exactly does my child do at the art camp?

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.

From what age can my child take part in the camp?

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.

What makes the PIE holiday camp special?

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.

How big are the groups?

We work with small groups of 4 to a maximum of 16 children per day so that we can cater to each child individually.

The day starts with yoga, dancing or an inspiring activity, followed by art time, lunch, an outdoor programme and more art in the afternoon. Depending on the weather, the programme can be swapped - movement and creativity are always balanced.

Medical information & allergies
Food preferences (vegetarian, no pork, etc.)

Until when can I cancel the booking?

You can cancel free of charge up to 2 weeks before the start of the camp and receive a full refund. Unfortunately, no refunds are possible after that, as we have to plan the camp team and materials in advance.
