Our Camp

Peak Pioneers is an English-language day camp for kids aged 5-14 designed to nurture confidence, curiosity, and a deep sense of grounding in the natural world. Led by professional mountain guides, our programmes combine hiking, navigation, teamwork, and nature-based exploration, aiming to help kids build practical outdoor skills and a genuine belief in what they can achieve.

We are proud to be Megève’s only English-language mountain camp. Designed by international parents for international parents, our camp prioritises children’s safety, small group sizes and helping campers develop a deep connection with the natural world that stays with them long after the summer ends.
